Rosie!

About This Movie

So, 'Rosie!' from 1967 is this quirky comedy that really dives into family dynamics, especially the darker side of those relationships. You've got this eccentric dowager in Los Angeles, played with a whimsical flair, who just won’t let her greedy daughters push her around. The pacing is kind of leisurely, allowing for some delightful character moments and offbeat humor. It's not every day you see a film that tackles the absurdity of elder care and familial greed with such a light touch, you know? The performances are pretty engaging, and there's a certain charm in its simplicity. It’s distinct in how it mixes situational comedy with poignant commentary on aging and autonomy.

Finding a copy of 'Rosie!' can be a bit of a treasure hunt, as it's not the most widely circulated film from its era. Various formats have surfaced over the years, but many collectors note the scarcity of decent quality prints. Interest in the film among collectors seems to ebb and flow, yet its unique blend of comedy and commentary on family dynamics has kept it on the radar for those who appreciate lesser-known gems.
