Will Power

About This Movie

Will Power (1936) is a quirky comedy that flirts with the absurd while exploring some surprisingly relatable themes of motivation and family dynamics. The pacing feels like a rollercoaster, with Edgar's frantic schemes and the light-hearted, almost slapstick moments balancing nicely together. Mystical elements weave through the plot, adding an offbeat charm that’s hard to resist. While the performances might not rival the heavyweights of the era, they have a certain sincerity that keeps you engaged. It’s this blend of humor with a touch of the supernatural that makes it stand out, even if the director remains a mystery in the annals of film history.

'Will Power' has had a bit of a checkered history in terms of availability. It’s not as widely circulated as some other comedies from the 30s, making it a bit of a treasure for collectors. The scarcity of physical media, especially in decent condition, adds to its allure. If you come across a print, it's definitely worth considering, not just for its oddball charm but also for the conversation it sparks among film enthusiasts.
