Picette - Who’s Crazy? (1946)

Full title reads: “Pathe Picette presents - Who’s Crazy?“ 1946 ? Compilation of quirky stories, probably for younger audiences (stories all originally from New Pictorials). Mr Charles Macey is seen on a 16 mile walk - difference is, he is walking backwards. He seems to be walking along the A26 with his nephew. We see a signpost for Uckfield, Lewes, Brighton and Eastbourne so they are probably on their way to the Sussex coast. Trapeze artists are seen in the open air - man rides a bicycle which has two trapezes attached. Various shots of the stunt. Woman is strapped into a device which will send her flying up into the air. Possibly some kind of aeronautics testing device. Prototype of scary funfair ride maybe. She has to wear a bag over her head for some reason. Another stunt - a man in cowboy outfit (“Wally Texan“) performs some shooting stunts. He shoots a pipe from the mouth of his lovely cowgirl assistant. He then does some knife throwing - scary. Audience are seen applauding. T
