Blindfold

Blindfold, does something a lot of comedies forget to: it's consistently funny. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 15 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Rock Hudson leads a cast with real comic timing. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Blindfold is worth clearing space for. The jokes in Blindfold land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A patient being psychoanalyzed by Dr. Snow is a government scientist. General Pratt hides him in a secret place known as "Base X," forcing Dr. Rock Hudson and Claudia Cardinale lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It was released in 1966. The timing in Blindfold is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Blindfold is a strong candidate. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison.
