So, 'When Men Carried Clubs and Women Played Ding-Dong' is this wild 1971 comedy that takes a satirical stab at gender dynamics through a prehistoric lens. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the charm, really. The performances are quirky, and the practical effects have that low-budget feel, which somehow enhances the absurdity of the whole premise. You’ve got this warring tribes setup where a frustrated wife rallies the women to deny their men intimacy, echoing those ancient themes from Aristophanes but delivered with a very tongue-in-cheek attitude. It's not your typical comedy; it's got a certain raw energy that feels oddly refreshing.
This film often slips under the radar, making it somewhat of a curiosity among collectors. Various formats have surfaced over the years, though finding a good quality print remains a challenge. Interest tends to be niche, with collectors drawn by its unusual premise and the blend of comedy and social commentary, but it’s certainly not mainstream fare.
