Nature in the Wrong

About This Movie

Nature in the Wrong is this quirky little comedy from '33 that dives into the farcical side of ancestry and identity. Charley's journey, spurred by a rival's trickery, is a fun take on mistaken identity, especially when he bumps his head and starts believing he’s Tarzan. The pacing is light and breezy, with slapstick moments that punctuate the more absurd scenarios. There's a playful atmosphere throughout, and the practical effects used to depict Charley’s Tarzan antics, though simple, add a certain charm. The performances carry a lightheartedness that matches the whimsical plot, making it an interesting watch amidst the era's more serious films.

Nature in the Wrong is relatively scarce, with few prints available, which piques collector interest. This film hasn't received too much attention over the years, but it has its niche following among those who appreciate early comedies. The primitive effects and unique premise make it a curious find for collectors looking to explore comedic styles of the early 30s.
