Simply Terrific has this charmingly chaotic vibe, right? You’ve got two young guys diving headfirst into the wild world of homemade hangover cures. The comedic timing is a bit haphazard, but that’s part of its charm. It's filled with those quirky moments that feel so true to late '30s comedies. You can see the practical effects that they used for some gags, really adds to the atmosphere. The pacing is a bit uneven, which kind of gives it a unique rhythm. The performances might not be top-tier, but they definitely add a certain earnestness to the whole thing. It’s just one of those films that makes you appreciate the simpler, sillier side of cinema.
Simply Terrific is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, with only a handful of prints floating around. Its comic premise and period charm resonate with those who appreciate the lighter side of classic cinema. It has been released on a few home formats over the years, but finding a good condition copy is becoming increasingly difficult. The film adds a unique flavor to any collection, especially for those who enjoy exploring the lesser-known comedies from the late 1930s.
