Whatever Happens, Happens

About This Movie

Whatever Happens, Happens is an interesting piece from 1960, with a rather loose narrative centered around three friends – the thin, the fat, and the short – each in pursuit of love. It has this light, almost whimsical tone, and the pacing feels like a classic comedy of errors. The dynamics between the characters are quite delightful, with plenty of physical humor and clever misunderstandings that keep things engaging. The film really shines in its comedic moments, particularly the way luck turns their fortunes around. You can pick up on a certain charm in the performances that’s not overly polished but feels genuine, making it an intriguing exploration of aspiration and friendship in a post-war society.

This film is often overlooked due to its obscure director and the lack of a notable cast, yet it has a distinct charm that resonates with collectors. Limited format releases have made it somewhat scarce, and those fortunate enough to stumble upon a copy often cherish it for its unique comedic style. Interest has been growing among niche collectors who appreciate the offbeat narrative and historical context, making it a curious find in any collection.
