Making the Rounds

About This Movie

So, 'Making the Rounds' is a bit of an oddity from 1934, you know? It’s got that classic comedic vibe of the era, but there's something about the tone that feels a bit more laid-back, almost languid. The story follows two blokes who, in their inebriated state, decide to wander away from their marriages, which leads to all sorts of silly shenanigans. The pacing is loose, with moments that just breathe, allowing the humor to unfold in a more natural way. The performances have that charm typical of the period, where the actors' expressions are often as funny as the dialogue itself. It’s distinct in its simple premise, perhaps a reflection of the times it was made. You don’t see many films like it, that’s for sure.

'Making the Rounds' is somewhat elusive in collector circles, primarily available on obscure formats or in private collections. It doesn't pop up at auctions often, which reflects its niche appeal among comedy enthusiasts and those who appreciate pre-Code era films. Despite its scarcity, there’s a certain intrigue around it, as collectors seem drawn to its unique take on marital infidelity, and the laid-back comedic style that feels distinctly of its time.
