So, 'Lord Love a Duck' is this quirky blend of comedy and drama, and it has this offbeat charm that’s hard to pin down. Alan Musgrave's narration from his prison cell gives it a unique framing device, and you really feel the push and pull of teenage obsession as he hilariously fumbles through fulfilling the whims of Barbara Ann Greene. The performances have a certain authenticity, especially from the lead, and there's this wild energy that keeps it moving, even when the pacing can feel a bit erratic. Plus, the 60s vibe really saturates the film, from the fashion to the soundtrack, making it a distinctive piece of its time.
This film has had a bit of a mixed history in terms of availability, with a few releases over the years but nothing too extensive. Its blend of absurdity and heartfelt moments has garnered a niche collector interest, though it doesn't sit at the top of most lists. Finding a good-quality print can be a challenge, as early home video releases tend to be lacking in quality, making it a bit sought after for those who appreciate its unique tone and period details.
