Secrets

About This Movie

So, 'Secrets' is this quirky TV movie from 1973 that plays with the absurd in a pretty delightful way. The plot centers around these maintenance workers who accidentally end up in a chocolate vat — and it’s all very slapstick, with a sweet twist. The pacing is a bit uneven, which gives it a charmingly chaotic feel, and the practical effects, especially those involving the chocolate, add to the humor. You can tell they were having a blast with this. Performances range from over-the-top to genuinely funny, creating a unique tone that feels both nostalgic and oddly refreshing. Overall, it’s a curious blend of comedy and whimsy that stands out amongst other TV movies of its time.

The film has had a limited release history, primarily aired as a TV movie, making it somewhat obscure in collector circles. Consequently, it’s not widely available on physical media, which adds to its scarcity. Collectors often seek this one out for its unique premise and the charm of 70s television, along with its practical effects that give it a distinctive flair. Interest tends to be more niche, but there’s a certain appeal to those who appreciate offbeat comedies from the era.
