Robinet Reporter

Robinet Reporter

Marcel Perez is, as you might guess from the title of this movie, a reporter. He's been assigned a new story: a general is in town to review the troops. Get an interview! The general does not wish to give an interview, so Perez has to resort to subterfuge. Good thing he's a comic and can raid the studio's wardrobe department for disguises.

An uncle is dead and has left Marcel a hundred thousand francs! With a huzzah and skips and falls and smashing of his old junk, Marcel is off to equip himself in the latest and most expensive fashion, waving the telegram like Mark Twain's Million-Pound Note to gain the instant obsequiousness of tailors, haberdasher and hatters. But wait, why is that messenger following on Marcel's trail? Could it be another telegram? What could it possibly say?

Una Dichiarazione Impossibile di Robinet

Una Dichiarazione Impossibile di Robinet

Marcel Perez meets Nilde Baracchi at a party and falls instantly in love. How much comedy short subjects have contributed to the 'falling in love at first sight' trope might make an interesting paper. Anyway, he falls in love, but things go wrong at the party, then again when he waits outside her apartment -- today we would say he was stalking her. Back then it was considered cute, particularly given the indignities of Italian slapstick -- and when he finally meets her again on a train.

Tweedledum as Aviator

Tweedledum as Aviator

Robinet, the lead in this Italian slapstick comedy, wants to be an aviator in the worst way, and this being an Italian slapstick, that's how he does it. Italian slapstick in this period was absolutely bone-breaking, so much so that it makes Keystone slapstick look like drawing-room comedy by contrast.
