Strictly Business

About This Movie

Strictly Business has this quirky vibe that might catch you off guard. It's split into three distinct stories, all drawing from O. Henry's knack for twisty narratives. The first tale, featuring Bob Tidball, is a wild ride across the plains, only to turn dark when he meets his end in a twist that O. Henry would appreciate. There’s this blend of comedy and unexpected turns that keeps the pacing lively, though you can feel a bit of that 60s charm in the performances. The practical effects are a mixed bag, but they add to the film's unique character. It's one of those pieces that feels a bit like a time capsule, showcasing a different era of storytelling in cinema.

Strictly Business is relatively obscure, making it a curious piece for collectors who appreciate adaptations of classic literature. It has seen limited format releases, often appearing in niche collections or retrospectives on O. Henry’s work. The scarcity of this film contributes to its collector interest, especially for those who enjoy exploring lesser-known comedies from the 1960s.
