Pett And Pott (1934) ***

Directed by Andrea Cavalcanti. Two families react differently to a threat of robbery. Smart and nice Petts install a telephone. Stupid and evil Potts hire a maid (who, as it turns out, works for the robbers). A timely call from Pett's telephone allows the police to catch the thieves. Produced by John Grierson for the GPO Film Unit, this film might be a little too off-beat for its own good, but it's still a uniquely bizarre curiosity.
