Love in September

About This Movie

So, 'Love in September' from 1936 is one of those quirky little comedies that lingers in the back of your mind. It revolves around this sweet old lady who gets swept up in the world of midget race cars and their drivers. The humor is light, with a charmingly offbeat tone that captures the era's playful spirit. The performances have a genuine warmth, and the practical effects used for the racing scenes have a delightful, hands-on feel. It's a bit slow in parts, but that just adds to the old-timey charm. The film’s ability to blend whimsical situations with a touch of societal commentary makes it stand out, especially in a time when comedies were often more formulaic.

This is one of those films that doesn’t turn up often, especially in decent condition. It seems to have slipped through the cracks of more mainstream collections, which might be why collectors find it so intriguing. Formats are limited, with a few early VHS releases surfacing over the years, but original prints are rare. Its scarcity and quirky premise have sparked interest among niche collectors who appreciate the comedy of the era.
