They All Do It

About This Movie

They All Do It is this quirky little gem from 1968, blending comedy with a touch of romantic whimsy. You’ve got Johannes, this awkward music student who’s all about Mozart and smitten with his classmate, Elisabeth. The contrast of his innocence against Pop, the jazzy dropout with a knack for charm and trouble, creates this nice tension. The pacing meanders just right, allowing the humor to unfold naturally, while the performances bring an authentic warmth to the characters. It's got that vintage feel - you can almost hear the jazz in the background and see the vibrant colors of the era. It’s different from the typical comedies of the time, offering a peek into the world of music and youthful aspirations. Definitely a unique watch.

This film has seen a few releases on various formats over the years, but the scarcity of a quality print makes it a noteworthy piece for collectors. The original 35mm prints are becoming increasingly hard to find, and there’s a certain charm to the grainy texture that adds to its allure. Interest in this title seems to have grown, particularly among those who appreciate lesser-known comedies from this era, making it a curious item in collector circles.
