Absolutely Fantastic

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Just watched this very unusual short on YouTube. If you've read the synopsis above, you should get the idea of what happens in this brief film. I will mention that the woman, Nina Glenn, is topless so obviously, this wasn't shown in mainstream theatres during this period of the Production Code. We probably wouldn't have seen the man, Michael Crane, take off his clothes and certainly not both making love naked during this time in the Major Studio releases of the era. And those random images with Crane and Ms. Glenn making unrelated comments certainly isn't something any studio head would green-light in their lineup of upcoming films. In fact, directors Willard Maas and Ben Moore don't seem to want to make something that would make any real sense. Actually, though what I just described isn't what I would call entertaining, at least the zither music by John Gruen provides a wonderful distraction throughout. So if you're interested in the really offbeat type of film, Mechanics of Love should be right up your alley.
