Cinema Tragedy at Carnival Time

1913 · 8 min Comedy
5.5 / 10 · TMDB

Antonio is jealous of his wife Clara and follows her everywhere; one day he sees her walking with a man on the street. He immediately becomes convinced that they went together to the movies (instead they went separate ways). Blinded by jealousy, Antonio wants to enter in the cinema hall and make a killing; but the director of the cinema stops him, and goes into the cinema room saying: "Outside a husband is waiting for his unfaithful wife to come out and kill her. Please, those of you who do not have a clear conscience, go to the emergency exit." In a moment almost all the spectators disappear.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedic premise on an absurd misunderstanding, relying on exaggerated jealousy to set the plot in motion. It explores the simple yet effective mechanism of a public announcement triggering a mass guilty conscience, leading to a rapid, humorous exodus.

What lingers after the final frame is the amusing universal truth about the power of suggestion and the comedic potential of collective panic. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Enrico Guazzoni
