Hunting Safety Tips
boblipton28 May 2009
Cretinetti goes hunting with his friends, stalking the ferocious Chicken, and produces a typical Italian slapstick, which makes your typical Keystone slapstick look like tea time at the Ritz. Raw, bone-breaking slapstick may not be to your taste, but if it is -- and it is to mine occasionally -- Andre Deed's turns as Cretinetti will give you exactly what you are looking for.

With a little more blood, this might have made a good Hunting Safety Film, the sort of educational film that used to be churned out in the 1950s. Played for laughs, it is fairly good, with its assumptions that behind every fence sits a picnicking couple and that if you shoot your fellow hunter in the behind, he will simply jump a bit. But if you're one of the people who think that Elmer Fudd is a vicious character, this is not for you.

Fast Paced but Not That Funny

Le delizie della caccia (1910)

** (out of 4)

Cretinetti (Andre Deed) decides to go hunting with his wife and another person and soon finds that there are certain dangers that can happen when you're with a gun.

THE THRILL OF THE SHOOT is an Italian slapstick comedy that clocks in at just six minutes and I must admit that it moves at a very fast pace. The film manages to have a rather amazing pace considering everything that is going on. I've heard people say that this type of film puts Keystone to shame and I'd probably agree with that. With that said, I honestly didn't find the film to be that funny. Deed certainly has a lot of energy on the screen and there are some amusing scenes but nothing that made me laugh.
