What a Night!

About This Movie

What a Night! is an interesting blend of comedy and crime, set against the backdrop of a haunted inn that, let's be honest, isn't really haunted at all. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it adds to the charm, and the performances are quite playful, capturing that early 30s vibe. The practical effects are modest yet effective, especially for the period, and help create a setting where you never quite know what's real. It’s this mix of lightheartedness and mystery that makes the film stand out, giving us a peek into how filmmakers of the time approached the blending of genres. A bit of a curiosity, really, for those who enjoy the oddities of early sound cinema.

What a Night! is relatively scarce, often overshadowed by bigger releases of its time, making it a neat find for collectors. The film has seen limited releases, mostly in obscure compilations or public domain sets, which adds to its allure. There’s a modest but dedicated interest in early sound comedies, and this fits that niche well, appealing to those who appreciate the quirks of the era. Keep an eye out for archival prints or lesser-known collections; this one might surprise you.
