What's Good for the Goose

About This Movie

So, 'What's Good for the Goose' is this quirky little British comedy from 1969 that really captures the cultural shifts of the era. It follows a middle-aged banker who, during his trip to a convention, gets entangled with two free-spirited young women. There’s this interesting tension between the stuffy, traditional values of the banker and the liberating spirit the women bring, which creates a nice back-and-forth. The pacing has that classic feel, a bit slow in parts but it really accentuates the comedy and awkward situations he finds himself in. You get some amusing performances, especially from the leads who have a great chemistry that feels both natural and playful, making it a distinctive watch for those into 60s British cinema.

This film, while not as widely known as others from the period, has developed a certain niche appeal among collectors, particularly for those interested in the evolution of British comedy. It's available in various formats, with the original theatrical release being the most sought after. As the years go by, the scarcity of quality prints has increased, drawing attention from enthusiasts who appreciate its unique blend of humor and social commentary.
