Give Her the Moon

About This Movie

So, 'Give Her the Moon' is this quirky comedy from 1970 that plays around with romance and the absurdities of wealth. Marie, a naive young girl from a small village, finds herself entangled with an American billionaire, and the whole premise of moving her village to New York adds an odd yet charming twist. The pacing is a bit uneven; it has its slow moments, but that just amplifies the whimsical atmosphere. The performances have a light-heartedness that feels genuine, and it's fascinating how the film captures the contrast between provincial life and the big city. It’s not your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, that’s for sure – there’s a delightful naivety woven throughout that gives it a unique flavor.

This film is quite rare, especially in its original print. There have been a few VHS releases but finding a well-preserved copy can be a challenge. Collectors often seek it out not just for its odd premise but for the way it encapsulates a specific era's comedies that are hard to find. Its unique narrative lends itself to interesting discussions among collectors about the evolution of romantic comedies.
