Yes or No?

About This Movie

So, 'Yes or No?' from 1940—it's this quirky comedy that dives into the tangled web of relationships, all set against the backdrop of Budapest. The story revolves around a stunning American divorcee who finds herself in a rather scandalous situation with her best friend's fiancé. The film’s tone is playful, tinged with a light absurdity that keeps the pacing brisk without feeling rushed. You can almost feel the tension and charm in the performances, particularly from the lead, whose charisma shines through the somewhat zany plot. The atmospherics of the city play into the film's whimsical nature too, showcasing some practical effects that were quite clever for its time. It’s not conventional, but that’s what makes it stand out in the comedy genre of the era.

This film isn't exactly easy to come by, as it seems to have slipped under the radar of many collectors. It has had limited releases, primarily in niche formats or through smaller distributors, which makes finding a decent print somewhat challenging. However, its unique take on romantic entanglements and the atmospheric setting have drawn a small but devoted following among those who appreciate offbeat comedies from this era.
