Fitzwilly is a whimsical blend of comedy and romance that's a bit of a hidden gem from the late 60s. You’ve got this charming scenario where a broke heiress, played by the enchanting Barbara Eden, inadvertently becomes a benevolent figure, all while her butler, Claude Fitzwilliam, played with delightful finesse by Dick Van Dyke, orchestrates a series of rather cheeky heists. The pacing has a playful rhythm that feels really in tune with the era, and the chemistry between the leads adds a lovely warmth to the absurdity of their predicament. Plus, there’s something endearing about the practical effects and the way they pull off these capers without the modern wizardry of CGI. It's a film that encapsulates a certain lightheartedness that feels rare today.
Fitzwilly has had a somewhat sporadic release history, which has made it a bit elusive for collectors. The film has seen various formats over the years, but finding a good quality print can be a task due to its age. Interest in the film has grown among those who appreciate the lighter side of 60s cinema, especially for its charming performances and witty script. It's one of those titles that can spark a great conversation among collectors, given its unique blend of humor and romance.
