Go Chase Yourself

About This Movie

Go Chase Yourself, a 1938 comedy with a crime twist, has a certain charm that’s hard to shake off. The pacing feels a bit uneven at points, but it kind of adds to the overall silly atmosphere. The not-so-bright teller at the center of the mix-up brings this lightheartedness, with performances that capture a sort of innocence. Practical effects are minimal but serve their purpose well enough. The themes of mistaken identity and the absurdity of crime lend a unique flavor to the narrative. Not your usual heist film, it embraces the comedic side quite liberally, which makes it distinctive in its own right.

This film is quite scarce and not often discussed among collectors, which makes it an interesting find. Its history is a bit murky, largely due to the unknown director, but that adds to its intrigue. Various formats have floated around, yet original prints are rare. Collector interest seems to be niche but those who appreciate the quirks of 30s comedies often seek it out.
