In imdb, it's max and leon, but in kanopy it's la folle histoire de max et léon, or roughly, the silly story of max and leon. Two friends, just trying to avoid going off to war. They were both orphans, from a young age, and have never done an honest day's work. So when they are recruited, they try to go awol. Lots of slapstick humor. At least jerry lewis never showed up! It is pretty similar to an abbott and costello film. Or in this case, a knockoff of spies like us! They are goof-ups, but the higher ups decide they will be useful on a dangerous mission. They even end up on camels, out in the desert! Sound familiar? And later, a drag bar. This one goes all over. The last part is like a long episode of hogan's heroes. It has its funny moments. Directed by jonathan barré.

From new zealand. An experimental film, about an experiment by a married couple, to try to get some zing back into their marriage. They are getting on each other's nerves, and having troubles at their jobs, so they head off to a "couples retreat". Jackie van beek is laura, the lead, as well as the writer. But when they get to the retreat, there are big surprises in store for them. It's not quite the couple's counseling they were expecting! And the group leader gives much more personal attention than they expect. As you'll hear, everyone speaks a made up language, so you really have to read the subtitles to know what's going on. And they redo several familiar tracks in the gibberish language that they sing. Bruno and laura have very different weeks! But will it help their marriage in the long run? Can they agree on anything? It's fun, in a weird, wacky way. Yup, nudity, as promised. On tuesday. Directed by armagan ballantyne, who has won several film fest awards for various works.

Gene barry, barbara hale, eddie arnold. Frank duncan has come up with a scheme to make big bucks, but needs funding from some shady mobsters. And he uses zoe the showgirl to get to the big bosses. But of course, nothing goes according to plan. The headlines tell us how this all turns out, so we go into flashback to see where things went south. Fans will recognize barry from his bat masterson series, a couple years after this was made. And the very first columbo, of course. There's a sassy version of "put the blame on mame", maybe sung by barbara hale... maybe someone else. It's really not bad, just very low budget, from columbia. Directed by william castle, who was known for many low budget films with tacky special effects. This was one of his more serious dramas. For a film about the oil business, we don't see much oil drilling equipment. But it's still a pretty good noir.
