To date, "Some Kind of a Nut" has never received an official home video release despite starring Dick Van Dyke and Angie Dickinson. You'll have to wait for one of its occasional airings on cable if you want to see it. And once you do, you'll will see you could have easily waited a lot longer. Certainly, this movie commits the ultimate sin that a comedy can make, that being that it isn't very funny. In fact, it's not funny at all at any moment. But just as big a problem is the fact that the movie doesn't seem sure what to do with its premise. The premise itself - Van Dyke getting into hot water from growing a beard - is certainly unbelievable even for 1969, but the movie doesn't know what to do once that happens. The plot comes to a near standstill, and the actors desperately mug in front of the camera maybe in the hope that their wacky behavior will mask the fact that there really isn't all that much plot. It doesn't work. It's sub par theatrical efforts like this that explain why Van Dyke soon drifted back to working primarily in television.
