Sudzall Does It All!

About This Movie

Sudzall Does It All! is this quirky blend of comedy and family vibes that really captures the essence of late 70s cinema. You’ve got Cordelia Coventry, a Shakespearian actress, who's at a crossroads in her career when she gets roped into this wild national ad campaign for Sudzall washing powder, directed by the somewhat eccentric Bruce Rapport. The tone swings between light-hearted and a bit reflective, almost like a love letter to the struggles of artists trying to find their place. The pacing is uneven at times, but that just adds to its charm. Practical effects are minimal, but they work in this context. It’s the performances that stand out, especially Coventry’s which are both earnest and a touch comedic, making it a distinctive entry in a rather niche genre.

Sudzall Does It All! has had a bit of a mixed reception over the years among collectors. There aren’t many copies floating around, especially in good condition, making it somewhat scarce. The film has gained a curious following, likely due to its odd premise and the charm of its performances. More than just a curiosity, it reflects a specific moment in time, capturing the transitional phase in Coventry's career, which might intrigue collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
