Perfect Gentlemen

About This Movie

So, Perfect Gentlemen is one of those quirky 70s gems that kind of flies under the radar. The premise is intriguing—wives of inmates deciding to stick it to the man by robbing a hotel safe. The comedy is blended with crime elements, and it sort of walks a tightrope between laughter and drama. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it oddly adds to its charm. Characters are fleshed out in that classic 1970s way, and you get to see some great performances that really sell the absurdity of the situation. There’s also a certain atmosphere, a mix of tension and humor, that keeps you engaged throughout, making it distinct from more formulaic entries of the era.

The film has had a somewhat limited release, making original prints a bit of a rarity. I've seen a few copies pop up, but they often go quickly at collector shows. The scarcity of this title combined with its offbeat premise creates a niche interest among collectors who appreciate lesser-known films from that era. If you're into the more obscure side of 70s cinema, this one might be worth keeping an eye out for.
