Mrs. Harris' Cavity

About This Movie

So, 'Mrs. Harris' Cavity' is this wild little comedy from '71, and the plot is rather straightforward but absurd in execution. Picture Mrs. Harris at the dentist, and she's hit with laughing gas which leads to some, well, questionable antics. The pacing's a bit erratic, and the humor sometimes teeters into the surreal. It’s not just about the laughs, though. There’s this strange, almost uncomfortable vibe as the dentist takes advantage of her state, which adds a layer of darkness to the comedy. The performances are quite spirited, making the whole experience feel like an off-kilter dive into a dental nightmare. It’s a quirky piece that certainly stands out for its blend of humor and unease.

This film is relatively scarce on home video, with few releases over the years, making it a bit of a collector’s oddity. It was released on VHS back in the day, but finding a clean copy can be tricky. Interest among collectors tends to hover around its bizarre premise and unconventional humor, so it holds a niche appeal to those who appreciate off-the-beaten-path comedies from the early '70s.
