The best laid plans and other plans

The Fear of Zeppelins (1915)

Directed by star Andre Deed this film also features Leonie Laporte, Domenico Gambino and Falice Minotti. Looking to enjoy their wedding night a couple have their plans ruined by various precautions taken against incendiary bombs.

While Zeppelins might not be the obvious choice of subject matter for a sex comedy this bizarre little film works fairly well. There is plenty of slapstick humour and farce here which is entertaining enough if not riotously funny. Certainly this is a unique film in all cinema not just early films.


3/5
