Go To Work You Bum!

About This Movie

So, 'Go To Work You Bum!' is one of those quirky comedies that catches you off guard. The film's got this lighthearted yet slightly chaotic vibe, with our protagonist—a recently released ex-con—trying to hustle his way into some quick cash by staging a pool match between two retired legends. It’s all about the absurdity of his scheme and how it unfolds. The pacing is a little all over the place, but that just adds to its charm, right? Performances are pretty earnest, and you can’t help but feel the desperation mixed with humor in every scene. It’s definitely got that offbeat touch that makes it stand out from more conventional comedies of the time.

This film has a rather unique presence in the collectors' circles, primarily due to its scarcity on physical formats. It didn't get much in terms of distribution, so finding a decent copy can be a challenge. There's a niche group of collectors who appreciate its offbeat humor and eccentric plot, which might explain its gradual rise in interest among those who enjoy lesser-known comedies from the 70s.
