Cretinetti e l'ago
Andre Deed was a leading player in short Italian comedies in this period under the character name of Cretinetti, and Italian slapstick was much rougher and far more bone-breaking than anything Americans would regularly view. In this one, he is sewing his pants until his fiancée appears with his prospective father-in-law, so he puts his pants on, only to discover that the needle is still in the pants and takes every chance to stick him painfully.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its humor on a single, escalating physical gag—a hidden needle causing increasing agony. It relies entirely on André Deed's elastic expressions and frantic movements to sell each painful jab, building a crescendo of silent discomfort.
What lingers after viewing is the sheer commitment to slapstick violence, a reminder of early cinema's raw, bodily obsession with comedy. It's a time capsule of a rougher, less restrained comic sensibility. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: André Deed
Best Watched
Watch with a crowd that appreciates primitive, physical humor. A brisk palette cleanser between heavier films.
