Lipstick №4

About This Movie

Lipstick №4, a quirky TV movie from '64, has this offbeat charm that just kind of draws you in. The whole premise revolves around a drunken man's visit to the wife of a ballet director, spiraling into a delightful mess of misunderstandings. The pacing feels like a dance itself—sometimes slow, sometimes quick, but always keeping you entertained. The performances are a mixed bag, with some actors leaning into the absurdity while others play it straight, which adds to its charm. It’s that kind of comedy that relies heavily on situational humor and farcical elements, and the practical effects, though simple, are effective in conveying that chaotic atmosphere. You can’t help but appreciate the era it came from, giving it a unique vibe that’s hard to replicate.

Lipstick №4 remains relatively obscure in the collector's world, with limited print releases making it a bit of a hidden gem. The scarcity is notable, especially in good condition, as it was primarily shown on television and not widely distributed on physical media. Those interested in the niche of mid-60s comedy will likely find it intriguing, as it offers a window into the era’s television landscape and humor.
