Description
A vintage movie poster reprint of ''The Passionate Plumber'', a 1932 American romantic comedy film starring Buster Keaton. It was directed by Edward Sedgwick and marked one of Keaton's early sound film appearances. Here is a description of the film:
Plot:
"The Passionate Plumber" revolves around the character of Elmer Tuttle, played by Buster Keaton, who is a clumsy and good-natured plumber. Elmer is also known for his expertise in fixing pipes and drains and is highly sought after in his profession.
The film's plot takes a comedic turn when Elmer mistakenly gets involved in a mix-up at the mansion of a wealthy family. He is mistakenly identified as a psychiatrist and hired to cure a spoiled and neurotic heiress named Patricia Alden (played by Jimmy Durante). Patricia's father, Mr. Alden (played by William Burress), is desperate to see his daughter cured of her psychological issues before her impending wedding.
Elmer, with his limited understanding of psychology and his characteristic bumbling demeanor, attempts various comical methods to "cure" Patricia. Along the way, he encounters numerous obstacles and misunderstandings that lead to hilarious situations.
As the film progresses, Patricia becomes fond of Elmer, and romantic feelings start to develop between them. However, Patricia's wedding is still on the horizon, and Elmer must navigate the challenges of his newfound role as a "passionate plumber" and his growing affection for Patricia.
"The Passionate Plumber" is a classic slapstick comedy with Buster Keaton's signature physical comedy and deadpan expressions. It also features Jimmy Durante, a popular comedian of the era, who adds to the film's humor with his eccentric and over-the-top performance.
While "The Passionate Plumber" is not as celebrated as some of Buster Keaton's silent film classics, it showcases his transition into the sound era of cinema. The film is remembered for its comedic moments, quirky characters, and the chemistry between Keaton and Durante.
Overall, "The Passionate Plumber" is a lighthearted and amusing comedy that offers a glimpse into the early sound film period and provides fans of Buster Keaton with an opportunity to see his unique comedic talents in a different cinematic context.
