Bach to Bach

About This Movie

So, 'Bach to Bach' is this interesting little comedy from 1967 that you might not have heard of. The whole vibe is very intimate, set in a New York apartment where a couple navigates the awkwardness of their first time together, all while a Bach recording plays in the background. You can really sense the tension in their pseudo-intellectual banter, which feels right out of a Nichols and May sketch. It's this unique blend of humor and a kind of philosophical exploration that makes it stand out. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the awkward moments to breathe, and there's something charming about the simplicity of the setting and performances. It’s an odd little gem that captures a specific era’s sensibilities quite well.

'Bach to Bach' has seen limited releases over the years, making original prints somewhat of a rarity. The film has a niche appeal among collectors who appreciate the work of Nichols and May, as well as the 1960s comedy scene. It often flies under the radar at conventions, which contributes to its scarcity. The film's unique blend of humor and atmosphere draws interest from those looking to explore lesser-known cultural artifacts from that period.
