Knee Action is this quirky little comedy from '37 that really leans into the absurd. It has that delightful, awkward charm typical of the era, with Andy showcasing his knee-action washing machine. But then you’ve got his stepson, who's an absolute klutz, turning what should be a straightforward demonstration into pure chaos. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it gives it this endearing quality. The practical effects are pretty fascinating for a film of this time period, and the performances have that classic screwball energy. It's not just about the laughs; there’s something about the inventive spirit clashing with human folly that rings true, making it stand out a bit in the comedy landscape of its day.
Knee Action is a bit of a rarity among collectors, with few prints floating around, likely due to its niche appeal and age. The film has been released on various formats over the years, but original prints remain highly sought after. Interest tends to be more among fans of early comedy and those who appreciate the blend of invention with humor, making it a curious piece for any vintage collection.
