What Do You Think? (Number Two)

About This Movie

So, 'What Do You Think? (Number Two)' from 1937 is this intriguing little drama that unfolds at a party gone awry. John Jones, our protagonist, finds himself caught in a web of misunderstandings involving his newlywed wife and her mother. The atmosphere is thick with tension as the supposed prank turns into something deeper with the hint of a ghostly presence. There’s a unique blend of light-hearted moments and darker themes woven throughout, the pacing surprisingly effective in keeping you engaged. The performances, though perhaps not perfect, have an earnest quality that adds to the charm. It's definitely one of those films where the practical effects, though dated, provide a nostalgic glimpse into the craftsmanship of the era.

This film has a bit of a shadowy presence in collector circles, not a lot of prints floating around, which can make tracking down a copy quite the endeavor. Most available formats are old VHS tapes or some grainy reissues, lacking in quality but rich in nostalgia. The scarcity and its peculiar premise make it a curious piece for anyone interested in lesser-known dramas of the late '30s.
