Men Don't Cry

About This Movie

Men Don't Cry is this oddball comedy that dives into the absurdity of insomnia treatment. Picture a group of sleepless chaps whisked away to a desolate island, only to find they're not getting the therapy they signed up for. Instead, they’re about to be 'cured' with fresh air and manual labor, which leads to plenty of hilarity and camaraderie. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but that somehow adds to its charm. It has a unique atmosphere, mixing dark humor with a satirical take on mental health. The performances have a rawness that feels genuine, making the film stand out in the landscape of late '60s comedies, even if the director remains a mystery.

Men Don't Cry has a bit of a cult following among collectors, mainly due to its scarcity and the enigma surrounding its director. It’s tough to find on physical media, which keeps interest alive among those who appreciate offbeat comedies from the era. The film's quirky premise and distinct charm make it a notable piece for any serious collector looking to explore the lesser-known corners of 1960s cinema.
