Last to Go

About This Movie

Last to Go is a unique entry in the realm of animated shorts, coming from the mind of Gerald Potterton. It captures a certain offbeat charm with its quirky animation style, which, while not typical of mainstream releases, offers a refreshing detour into artistic expression. The voices of Harold Pinter and Donald Pleasence lend an unusual gravitas, creating an atmosphere that oscillates between whimsical and oddly melancholic. The pacing is deliberately measured, allowing viewers to truly soak in the rich visual storytelling and nuanced performances. It feels like a piece of art that was created in a different era, one that’s not often revisited, making it stand out in any collector’s catalog.

Last to Go was released as part of the Pinter People series, showcasing Potterton's unique animation style. This short is relatively scarce, often overshadowed by more commercially successful animations from the era, making it a hidden gem for collectors. The film's artistic approach and the involvement of notable talents like Pinter and Pleasence have sparked interest among niche collectors seeking out distinctive works from the late 60s.
