So, 'How to Succeed in Love' from 1962 is this quirky comedy that takes you through the misadventures of Bernard, a somewhat uptight religious book publisher. The tone is lighthearted, with a whimsical atmosphere driven by Bernard's encounters with Sophie, a delightfully eccentric twist dancer. The pacing keeps things engaging, and you can see some charm in the character transformations, particularly Bernard shaking off his shyness. It's not every day you stumble upon a film that mixes romance with such offbeat humor, making it a bit distinctive. The performances are pretty solid, too, bringing a certain warmth and goofiness that feels refreshing.
This film has been released on various formats over the years, though original prints can be quite hard to find. It's not necessarily a high-profile title, but collectors appreciate its unique blend of comedy and romance. There's a growing interest in lesser-known comedies from the era, making it one to keep an eye on as demand for such films increases.
