Off We Go

About This Movie

So, 'Off We Go' is this curious little piece from 1966, originally an unsold TV pilot that somehow made its way onto CBS as part of 'Vacation Playhouse'. The atmosphere is pretty laid back, capturing that classic 60s vibe without trying too hard. Pacing feels a bit erratic, typical of pilots trying to find their footing, but there’s a certain charm in its aimless journey. The performances lean towards the quirky, giving it a distinct edge over more polished fare of the time. It’s fascinating to see how it tries to explore themes of adventure and leisure, even if it doesn't quite hit the mark. It’s one of those oddities that stands out for its sheer attempt at capturing a slice of life from a different era.

'Off We Go' is quite the rarity in collector circles, primarily because it never truly found its audience as a series. Released on CBS as part of the 'Vacation Playhouse', it hasn’t seen many home video releases, making it a bit elusive. Enthusiasts of vintage television and 60s culture often seek it out for its oddball charm and historical significance, but you might not find it on every collector's shelf since it’s seldom discussed outside niche forums.
