Peeping Pete

1913 · 7 min

A frantic, silly chase full of slapstick energy that's easy to dip into and fun for all ages.

Overview: This early Keystone has Pete spying on his neighbor's wife through one of those little knotholes in a fence. The neighbor (Sterling) notices and chases him all over town with sheriff and family close behind. Fatty Arbuckle plays the peeper's wife(!).
How it feels: Absurd, light and campy. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Deception, obsession, family
Content: Mild violence and sexual content. No gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
