Long Legs, Long Fingers

About This Movie

So, 'Long Legs, Long Fingers' is quite the curious little film from 1966, blending comedy and crime in a rather charming way. The plot revolves around Baron Holberg, whose family has a long-standing tradition of hotel thievery, and his rather comical dismay when his daughter Doris falls for lawyer Robert Hammond instead of the more suitable thief, Sammy. The performances bring a lightheartedness to the otherwise serious undertones of familial expectations and the absurdities of love. The pacing has a nice rhythm, balancing humor and tension as the caper unfolds. It's not groundbreaking, but there’s something uniquely entertaining about its mix of characters and situations, really capturing that era's quirky vibe.

This film has seen a bit of a resurgence among collectors, primarily due to its unique blend of genre and the obscurity of its director. The scarcity of physical formats, particularly any vintage prints, adds to its charm for those in the know. It’s not exactly flooding the market, so finding a copy can be a bit of a treasure hunt, making it a noteworthy entry for anyone serious about their collection.
