About The Off-Handed Jape... & How to Pull It Off
The Off-Handed Jape is an afternoon’s lark made by Nelson and his artist friend William Wiley. The two men perform whimsical actions and poses for the camera, then recontextualize this imagery by improvising their own commentary on the action at a later time. —Andy Ditzler. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2002.
Directed by Robert Nelson, William T. Wiley, The Off-Handed Jape... & How to Pull It Off leans on a strong ensemble — Robert Nelson, William T. Wiley — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1967.
