His Women

About This Movie

So, 'His Women' from 1961 is this quirky little comedy that dives into the comedic misadventures of Stefano Garbelli, a pharmaceutical employee who finds himself in quite the predicament with Daniela, a clever young prostitute masquerading as a nurse. The film plays with themes of deception and unexpected romance, all wrapped in a light, but occasionally dark, tone. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, which adds to the charm, I think. Performances are sincere yet slightly over-the-top, giving it that distinct era feel. It’s interesting how it tackles social norms with humor, and while the direction is somewhat anonymous, the script brings a unique flavor that makes it stand out in a sea of similar comedies from the time.

This film isn't the easiest to find on physical media, which adds to its collector appeal. Originally released on standard VHS and only sporadically on DVD, its scarcity has led to some interest among collectors who appreciate the oddities of early 60s comedies. The lack of a significant restoration or re-release keeps it firmly in the realm of niche collectors, making it one of those hidden gems that often gets overlooked.
