The Moon's Our Home

About This Movie

So, 'The Moon's Our Home' from 1936 is this quirky little comedy that dives right into the chaos of a whirlwind romance. You have a writer and an actress, both famous but totally clueless about each other’s identities, which just sets the stage for some classic misunderstandings. The pacing is brisk, keeping it lively, and the comedic elements hit that sweet spot of absurdity without feeling forced. There’s a playful war of the sexes vibe throughout, and while the performances are a bit dated, there’s a charm to them that makes it feel almost nostalgic. It's not groundbreaking, but you can see the foundations of romantic comedy here.

This film is quite the rare find for collectors, with limited prints available over the years. It was released on VHS, but the DVD version is not particularly common, which adds to its intrigue. Interest in lesser-known comedies from this era has been growing, and this title often comes up in discussions about pre-war romantic comedies that influenced the genre.
