House. That is the word that best describes all performed and directed this title by Marcel Fabre (who already presented in a previous article, "French-Italian comic" ) and Luigi Maggi, not credited as such, for Ambrose Films. A really cool movie, pure entertainment and are looking for, between parody and homage, a visual and humorous approach to the world of Jules Verne (20,000 Leagues submarine, Five Weeks in a Balloon , Around the world 80 days ) through adaptation of the work Travel Farandola Saturnino special in the 5 or 6 parts of the world and in all countries visited and unvisited by Jules Verne , Albert Robida.
In Oceania, the ship sinks Farandola captain at sea during a storm. Before he died, his wife manages to make your baby safe (our Saturnino, become a sort of Moses), with a note on a small wooden box. Reaches Floating Island of the Apes, where it grows along with the monkeys that inhabit it. Rescued by a crew, just training in the art of navigation. During a diving operation to find pearls, a fellow diver is swallowed by a whale, alive and will reappear later when the whale captured by the eccentric director of the Oceanographic Museum in Melbourne. Saturnino rescues the girl, the first of a series of adventures taking place on land, sea and air. Rescues a white elephant, symbol of the kingdom of Siam, save some women about to be sacrificed on the Nile and, among other adventures (where the woman is almost always save him), comes a final battle in the air , with balloons and stars, certainly the most memorable section of the tape. In the end, the couple comes to the Island of the Apes, where they find their rest and their paradise.
not matter much to most of the tricks look. Even gives the impression that there is an intention in it. The monkeys are clearly men disguised, that the whale is clearly seen as a puppet foam, which the waters of the sea can be seen clearly made from plastic lines ... humorous part of the movie, related, relatively speaking, to parodies of Mel Brooks. Even get the feeling that, by the parody-tribute to the works of Jules Verne, there is another equally clear, that of the trick of Méliès and Second Chomón. Still, there is no doubt that we must congratulate the film for its imagery, especially, we insist, in its final section, a poetic balloon fight, he knows how to lead with his goal of a world traveled. It is noted that there has been significant work in the studio recording the balloon designed by the brothers Montgolfier and almost certainly the whole film was a product of effective storyboards. 
Marcel Fabre fulfills its mission of Caricato and is especially hilarious in its characterization of timid wild man, who consider themselves intellectually inferior apes in the first part of the tape. Then he complements with equal or greater comedy, Nilde Baracchi He will also be the antagonist (in the role of Robinette) by Marcel Fabre in his many films as Robinet. Form something like a pair of anti-heroes, in addition to the characters as outlandish as the director of the Oceanographic Museum in Melbourne, whose dress and demeanor reminiscent of a traveling comedian. A fascinating title, which must be evaluated from the entertainment, with evocations of other worlds and distant future, already in the name of its protagonist: Saturnino (Saturn, and the passion for science fiction Robida) and Farandola (entertainment, street theater.)
