The Gay Deceivers is a curious gem from 1969 that blends slapstick comedy with social commentary. The film follows two guys, Joe and his friend, who concoct this scheme to dodge the draft by pretending to be a couple. It's a bit of a farce, with that 'you have to see it to believe it' energy. The pacing feels light and breezy, though there are moments where the absurdity drags just enough to remind you of its era. The performances are a mixed bag; some moments are genuinely funny, while others land awkwardly. Anyway, it captures a time when attitudes towards homosexuality were shifting, and the characters' antics create a rather interesting tension throughout. Worth a watch if you're into period comedies with social undertones.
