My Third Wife, George

About This Movie

So, 'My Third Wife, George' is a bit of a curiosity from '68, featuring Ralph Higbee, a guy who's a total mess but kind of relatable in his own way. The film has this offbeat, almost surreal quality, especially with the whole LSD trip aspect, which adds an unusual layer to Ralph's journey. It's got that groovy period vibe, but there’s a real darker undertone to the comedy, like it’s both funny and kind of tragic at the same time. The performances, particularly Ralph’s, are a mix of slapstick and genuine heartache, which is pretty compelling. It’s not your usual fare, so it stands out in a collection for those who appreciate films that dance along that fine line between absurdity and reality.

This film is a rare find, especially on original formats. It didn't make a big splash upon release, so collectors often seek it out for its unique take on 60s counterculture and the unusual blend of comedy and tragedy. It's not easy to track down, which adds to its allure, particularly in the realm of underground cinema enthusiasts who appreciate its quirky narrative and distinctive character study.
