What Do We Do Now?

About This Movie

So, 'What Do We Do Now?' is this quirky little comedy from 1946, starring Lesley and Wesley, who are really just waiting to perform at the Skewball Hippodrome. The film has a lighthearted tone, blending music and humor as our amateur detectives stumble through solving a stolen diamond brooch case. The performances have this charming, slapstick vibe, typical of the era. There's a certain rhythm to the pacing that keeps it engaging, and the way they intertwine the musical numbers with the plot adds a unique flavor. It's not groundbreaking, but it offers a nice window into post-war comedy, with its simple charm and relatable characters that somehow resonate even today.

This film is often overlooked in discussions about 1940s comedies, making it a bit of a hidden gem for collectors. Its scarcity in physical formats contributes to its allure, as it’s not widely available on DVD or digital platforms. Original prints are relatively rare, often found in niche collections or at specialized auctions, which can drive up interest among those who appreciate the particular style and tone of the era's comedic efforts.
