Money

About This Movie

So, 'Money' from 1968 is this quirky silent screen-style comedy that stars Edwin Denby as the hilariously unlovable billionaire Hemlock Stinge. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that just adds to its charm, right? It's got that vintage vibe, with some clever practical effects that play into the absurdity of wealth. Denby's performance is really something; he pulls off the role with a perfect mix of slapstick and deadpan that feels both fresh and old-school at the same time. There's a certain atmosphere that feels like it’s paying homage to the silent film era while still carving out its own niche. It's a unique piece for sure, not your everyday find.

This film has had limited releases over the years, making original prints quite scarce among collectors. The silent comedy genre isn’t typically overrepresented in collections, so ‘Money’ holds a unique position for those interested in niche cinema. If you come across it, it’s worth noting that its eccentric humor and historical context can spark great conversations among fellow collectors.
