Very Close Veins

About This Movie

So, 'Very Close Veins' is this quirky little comedy from 1934 featuring Ben Blue, who, as the title hints, is in a bit of a humorous predicament. The film plays with themes of misunderstanding and absurdity, particularly around the idea of wealth and what people are willing to do for it. The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to the charm of the film—definitely keeps you on your toes. The practical effects are nothing groundbreaking, but the performances have that unique energy that only early comedies can deliver, making it feel fresh even today. And let's be honest, the premise itself is just a delightful play on words that sticks with you.

Originally released in a variety of formats, 'Very Close Veins' hasn't garnered the same level of attention as other comedies from the era. Still, its scarcity in physical copies sparks interest among collectors who appreciate pre-Code cinema's charm. Most prints are hard to find, and the unique premise makes it a conversation starter. If you're into oddball comedies with a twist, this one’s worth hunting down.
