Spuit elf
Summary
Comedy about a village idiot who becomes an enthusiastic fireman.
When fire breaks out, Draes, the village idiot, knows what to do. He turns a chicken coop into a watchtower and even manages to cobble together a fire extinguisher. He is on guard day and night and the villagers are laughing at him behind his back. Then a pyromaniac embarks on a series of fires and at last Draes can show the village what is he is worth.
For director Paul Cammermans - he also plays the village idiot - the film was no more than a showcase for a number of archetypal characters, like the mayor, the verger, the baker and the pretty girl. The cast is a strange mixture of established Dutch actors like Kitty Courbois and funny man Bueno de Mesquito and international names like Akim Tamiroff (the baker) and Jacques Dufilho (the pyromaniac).
