It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Just watched this very unusual short on YouTube. If you've read the synopsis above, you should get the idea of what happens in this brief film. I will mention that the woman, Nina Glenn, is topless so obviously, this wasn't shown in mainstream theatres during this period of the Production Code. We probably wouldn't have seen the man, Michael Crane, take off his clothes and certainly not both making love naked during this time in the Major Studio releases of the era. And those random images with Crane and Ms. Glenn making unrelated comments certainly isn't something any studio head would green-light in their lineup of upcoming films. In fact, directors Willard Maas and Ben Moore don't seem to want to make something that would make any real sense. Actually, though what I just described isn't what I would call entertaining, at least the zither music by John Gruen provides a wonderful distraction throughout. So if you're interested in the really offbeat type of film, Mechanics of Love should be right up your alley.
