Triple Crossed

About This Movie

Triple Crossed is one of those quirky comedies that mixes a bit of slapstick with some clever twists. You have Larry, this pet dealer, who’s juggling his shady romantic entanglements, and honestly, the chaos unfolds in ways that are almost absurd. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged as the misunderstandings pile up. What stands out is the dynamic between the characters; the performances have a certain charm that captures the era's humor without feeling too over the top. The practical effects are minimal but serve the gags well enough to maintain a lighthearted atmosphere throughout. It’s not a groundbreaking film, but it offers a delightful window into the comedic styles of the late 50s.

Triple Crossed has a somewhat elusive presence in the collector market, with prints being rather scarce. I've seen a few copies surface in 16mm, but they don't pop up often. The film's blend of situational comedy and retro charm seems to attract collectors interested in the peculiarities of late 50s cinema. While it may not be at the forefront of classic comedy collections, its unique storyline and character dynamics give it a certain niche appeal.
