Dog Barbos and Unusual Cross

1961 · 10 min Comedy
7.7 / 10 · TMDB

This is the very first silent slapstick comedy short about adventures of Worldly, Coward, and Fool. What's more fun: fishing with worms, or dynamite? Three friends decided to have a blast! Unfortunately their dog Barbos just loves playing fetch. And this time that stick was used for blast fishing. Barbos saw people throwing a smoking stick in a water, and fetched it right back to his owners. The "unusual cross" part begins when owners try to outrun the dog with dynamite.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director doesn't push the comedy pedal — lets the scene develop at its own pace. The comedic effect arises naturally, without cuing the audience.

If you're looking for light cinema for an evening — this is it. If you're looking for something that'll change your perspective on life — keep scrolling.

For those who can appreciate simple pleasure without overthinking it.

Director: Leonid Gaidai
