Fox and His Friends (1975)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
A performer at a German carnival, Fox, is left without a job and money when the place is shutdown by the cops. His last hope and immediate concern is finding a few marks to buy a lottery ticket he’s convinced he is going to win. As part of raising the necessary funds, he allows himself to be picked up at a public loo by an older gentleman who takes him to his mansion. Fox does end up winning half a million and the man later introduces Fox to his friends, who are initially contemptuous and patronizing until they are informed of the riches the uncouth chap is sitting on.

Fox is the central character here. So as a viewer, you’re trying to understand his personality and what he is about. And this keeps changing. Initially, he comes across a little thick, but that seems down to him being preoccupied with finding money for the lottery ticket. Later, he sounds cocksure and unfazed by the new world he’s found himself in. So you think, this could just be the high of having won half-a-million. Then he slowly starts getting beaten down as he is repeatedly shown how out of place he is in the place he has found himself in. How did he get there? Perhaps a combination of love and his own social aspirations. But now you see his body tone drop, he is less vocal, and his spirit becomes quieter, not in a self-realized way, but more from a lack of confidence to express itself.

This is a gay-themed movie, but is mostly about historical class struggles and how there has often only been one wiener.

Sad story about a low class carny twink who gets involved with some jet set homosexuals when he hits the lottery for a half a mil. Bedazzled by their style, the jet setters make a meal out of the bright eyed kid Fox and roll him for every cent that he has. Fox learns the hard way that money can’t buy you class or brains. It’s pretty depressing. I thought it was a great film. 4 stars.
