Dog Barbos and Unusual Cross

Dog Barbos and Unusual Cross (1961)

Пёс Барбос и необычный кросс

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.

Interesting facts

Dog Barbos and Unusual Cross is a 1961 Soviet short crime comedy film directed by Leonid Gaidai.

Filming

Filming took place in the vicinity of the village of Snegiri in the Istrinsky District, Moscow Oblast, on the banks of the Istra River, and the scenes with the explosion of dynamite and the burning tree were shot near the summer dacha of the singer Ivan Kozlovsky in a nearby village.

The filmed material in total was enough for a half-hour, but the director Leonid Gaidai reduced it to a ten minutes running time and removed a lot of stunt scenes that were later used in Moonshiners.
