PodBill Just what I expected

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Glatpoti It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Dalbert Pringle Attention, All You Carnally-Curious Viewers! - If you want the "knack" and seriously wanna know "how to get it" - Then steer clear of this quirky, off-the-wall, 1965, comedy - 'Cause it's sure to leave your head spinning, as you find yourself even more clueless than you already are.If nothing else - "The Knack" (directed by American film-maker, Richard Lester) is (movie-wise) historically significant in that it is sandwiched in between 2 of Lester's more notable pictures - "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help!", which, of course, starred the Beatles.Even though "The Knack" (which was set in London and filmed in b&w) is a pretty silly and scatterbrained tale about the lustful pursuit for sexual conquests - It certainly did have its interesting and entertaining moments.And, yes - With "The Knack" now being 52 years old - It is, indeed, dated - But still definitely worth a view. Yet - With that said - I do caution you, that its decidedly-eccentric brand of humour isn't gonna appeal to everyone.

Larkrise Having recently discovered this movie i have to say how much i adored it. And my personal reason is because of Donal Donnelly he may not have a big part in the story as he is more the observer of the absurd goings on. He to me is the most unforgettable of the characters. He is like a threat to the arrogant Tolen who treats women like dirt because unlike Colin he is'nt afraid to stand up to him. I love the quirkiness of the movie as i adore the quirkiness of A Hard days night this is similar in my opinion. Its amazing watching this the clothes that Tom wear are back in fashion the fact the actor was older then the other actors does not show considering how youthful looking he is. I love the art deco house the dragging the iron bed along the street scene the going in and out of the doors scene. In fact i can't say a bad thing against this movie you either love it or hate it i personally love it.

andyetris This is a manic Richard Lester comedy very similar to "A Hard Days Night," and if you liked that movie you'll like this one. It's a somewhat rambling froth-of-life tale about an awkward young man (Michael Crawford) who wants to learn how to pick up girls from his popular housemate (Ray Brooks). Brooks' attempt to instruct Crawford in the mysteries of the knack go hilariously awry when the pair encounter the flighty Rita Tushingham.I'm a little surprised that this won a Palme d'Or, but it IS very funny in a not-too over-the-top way. It's dramatically superior to contemporary early '60's comedy, and the principals turn in wonderful performances. If you like it, be sure to check out Lester's sunny nonsense "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" and the distinctly darker "How I Won the War."

Joel Benington One of my 10 favorite films. An aimless, fantastical collection of site gags and non-sequiturs, punctuated by verbal graffiti in the comments of onlookers. What makes it so great is the charming spirit of youthful innocence throughout and the captivating soundtrack.
