So, 'Together' from 1943 is a curious little comedy that captures this odd interplay between isolation and unexpected company. You have Szilárd, this wealthy guy, trying to escape the hustle and bustle of his life, only to have fate throw a wrench in his plans via a motorbike accident. There’s a certain charm in the way the film portrays his disdain for society, yet it finds humor in the absurdity of his situation. The pacing's a bit uneven, but it resonates with that vintage comedic style. It's really about how one’s solitude can be interrupted in the most unforeseen ways, and the performances bring out both the humor and depth of the characters, making it a distinctive viewing experience.
'Together' is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, not least because it wanders into the niche of 1940s comedies that don’t always get the attention they deserve. There are few existing prints, and while it hasn't had a significant restoration push, that just adds to its charm and allure as a collectible. Fans of the era will appreciate the character-driven narrative and the oddball scenarios that unfold, making it a worthy item for those who appreciate the eclectic side of cinema from this period.
