They Were Still Called... The Most and the Least

About This Movie

So, 'They Were Still Called... The Most and the Least' is this quirky little comedy from '72 that puts a spin on the classic con game narrative. The dynamic between the penniless Prince and the petty thief is just offbeat enough to keep you engaged, while the pacing has a nice rhythm that doesn’t rush things. It’s really interesting to see how their relationship evolves, especially when the Prince's gambling habits catch up with him and flip their roles entirely. The atmosphere feels light and mischievous, and although the performances might not be Oscar-worthy, there's a charm in their chemistry that keeps it entertaining. It's one of those odd films that somehow sticks with you, even if it doesn’t fit neatly into any popular genre.

Finding a good print of this film can be a bit of a challenge, as it hasn’t received a wide release in various formats over the years. VHS copies are somewhat easier to come by, but good quality ones are rare, and I’ve seen some collectors really hunt for decent DVDs or any kind of remaster. The blend of humor and offbeat storytelling has piqued interest among niche collectors who appreciate lesser-known gems, so it's one to keep an eye on if you're into unique comedies from the early '70s.
