Only God Knows

About This Movie

Only God Knows (1974) is a unique blend of comedy tinged with absurdity and a hint of darkness. The plot revolves around the misadventures of sponsors at a drug-rehabilitation center who decide to stage a heist, but things go awry when they unintentionally target syndicate-owned loot. The pacing is uneven, which adds to its quirky charm, emphasizing the absurdity of the situation. There's a palpable sense of desperation mixed with humor throughout, and the performances are surprisingly engaging given the offbeat premise. It’s one of those films that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, especially with its strange yet compelling atmosphere.

Only God Knows has had a bit of a rough ride in terms of format history, as it wasn’t widely distributed, making it somewhat scarce. Collectors often find it in obscure listings or private collections, as it hasn’t seen a major re-release or restoration. There’s genuine interest among those who appreciate offbeat comedies, and it tends to draw attention for its quirky narrative and the unique way it tackles serious themes with humor.
