A Noise from the Deep
A Noise from the Deep is a 1913 American short silent comedy film starring Mabel Normand and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. The film was directed and produced by Mack Sennett and also features the Keystone Cops on horseback. A Noise from the Deep still exists and was screened four times in 2006 in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City as part of a 56-film retrospective of all known surviving Arbuckle movies.
The film is notable for being the first instance of throwing a custard pie in the face in a film, which was by Normand hitting Arbuckle squarely in the face. The film was also reissued several years after its original release in 1919, under a different title, Fatty's Bubble Trick.
A pretty girl (Normand), is eloping with a young man for romantic excitement, as much as anything, is accidentally thrown into a pond, and her swain, her father's choice for a son-in-law, unable to swim, is compelled to run for help. Meanwhile, another lover (Arbuckle), appears and saves her.
In gratitude, the girl agrees to go with him to the parson and be married. To make time for the ceremony, a hose is run into the pool, one end being taken behind some bushes on the bank, and a young rustic, in consideration of a quarter, takes his place to blow through it.
The effect is bubbles appearing on the surface of the water, which the rescuing party takes to be coming from the drowning girl, and makes numerous ineffectual attempts to rescue her. By the time the ruse is discovered, the couple are married and all ends happily.
Uncredited minor roles
The film was shot from May 31 to June 7, 1913, and released on July 17. The movie was the first pairing of Mabel Normand and Roscoe Arbuckle, and was the first Keystone Comedy to feature a pie in the face by Normand to Arbuckle. To simulate Normand drowning in the pond, the crew created bubbles by placing a hose in the pond and blowing through it.
According to author Andy Edmonds, the idea for the pie throwing came from Arbuckle, who had spotted some pies on a nearby table, and explained to Normand what he wanted to do. Director Sennett was unaware of the conversation, but had been alerted by Arbuckle to "keep a close eye on us, we've got an idea", so Sennett used a wide angle to film the shot, and Normand took a pie and threw it into Arbuckle's face. Sennett loved the gag, and it quickly became a trope of film slapstick.
