There is a silent film I would love to track down but have never been able to identify it. Several clips of it are used as part of a 1976 concert film by Genesis for the song, "The Cinema Show" (a great song, by the way). It can be seen on YouTube:
I am guessing it to be from the teens, probably Italian. There is no listing for it on the end credits to the full concert. If anyone knows what this is, please let me know.

Re: Silent Clips in The Cinema Show
I submitted this question back in 2012 in the hopes someone might be able to identify this footage. I figured it's worth another try. These are clips from an early silent comedy, possibly French, that was used as part of a Genesis live concert film. Here are some screen caps of the footage. Does anyone know what it is from? Thanks.

The film is also available on this website:

It is described as an Italian comedy however there is no original title. Maybe Genesis got the footage from British Pathe?
