Films like The Knack ...and How to Get It.

The Knack ...and How to Get It (1965) reads as Warm, breathless, measured comedy / swinging-london, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
