Misbehavin'

About This Movie

Misbehavin' from 1978 is this quirky comedy that dances around the whims of love and greed. With the premise centered on a wager between God and The Devil over the fate of a notorious gold digger, Rita, the film captures a light-hearted tone yet delves into themes of morality and consequence. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the charm, as you get wrapped up in Rita's escapades. The performances are somewhat over-the-top, but that fits perfectly with the absurdity of the plot. It’s distinctive for its playful approach to serious themes, creating a strange cocktail of laughs and introspection that’s hard to find anywhere else.

Misbehavin' has had a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, with various formats appearing over the years, but it's not the easiest to find.

Fans of the genre often seek it out for its unique premise and the blend of humor with deeper themes, making it a curious piece for any collector looking to explore this era's cinematic oddities.
