Sergey Filippov will lead us through the corridors of the film studio where the comedy almanac is being filmed. There is a complete mess going on there, but no less than him in the short stories of the almanac, the most famous of which are “How Robinson was created”, “The Story of Pies”, “Foreigners”, “Bon Appetit”, “Dog Barbos and an unusual cross”.
The film was shot at Mosfilm based on the feuilleton of the same name by I. Ilf and E. Petrov.
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.
This is the second silent (save for a song) slapstick comedy short about adventures of Worldly, Coward, and Fool. In a small hunting lodge three friends are making illegal moonshine. Bottled "product" fills shelves quickly. Life is good. But their dog Barbos doesn't understand that bringing a moonshine condenser coil to a police station is a bad idea...
