Hasty Marriage

About This Movie

Hasty Marriage is this quirky little gem from 1968 that blends comedy with the bittersweet nuances of love later in life. It follows Nádor and Mrs. Komáromi, two widowed pensioners who find each other in a cemetery, and honestly, it’s a wild premise. The humor is often situational, filled with gags that arise from their age and circumstances, giving it a unique charm. The pacing is quite deliberate, inviting you to savor the awkwardness of their courtship. What stands out is the warm, almost surreal atmosphere, which balances the comedy with a touch of melancholy. The performances bring a delightful sincerity, making you invested in their late-blooming romance.

Hasty Marriage is not widely circulated, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. It has seen limited releases, often popping up in niche film festivals or specialized collections.
