The Fear of Zeppelins

1915 · 11 min Comedy Adventure
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Cretinetti is about to get married and he could not be any happier and more in love with his Junoesque consort. But just on the day of his wedding, he reads a notice on the wall explaining how to behave in the case of an enemy air raid. The fear that grips him makes him even too literal in implementing safety indications, causing trouble and accidents that will not only stop him from enjoying his first marital night, but will even cause the collapse of the whole house. In the end, the gendarmes go to him with a conscription notice and take him away under coercion, under the appalled gaze of his new bride.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The short film constructs its comedy around the absurd exaggeration of a simple premise: how irrational fear drives a man to follow safety instructions with literal, catastrophic devotion. It relies on the physical humor and property-destruction gags typical of early cinema.

Those who tire of overly complex plots will find delight in this straightforward escalation of panic, where one man's wedding day chaos becomes a public spectacle of ruin. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: André Deed

Watch in good spirits as a curious slice of silent-era slapstick.
