Zimmy! (1932)

Waikiki, Hawaii, United States of America. Introductory intertitle reads: “The pride of Waikiki Pool in Hawaii, understands the ’eats’ call in any language... he’s not just a poor fish.“ M/Ss of a man in swimming trunks feeding a Porcupine Balloon Fish (?) which swims in a pool. His name is “Zimmy“. The narrator tells us what the fish likes to eat. We see him eating a banana and a crab and shrimps. Various shots of the bizarre fish, the man feeding it and those watching. American commentator makes all sorts of lame jokes about Zimmy and his “wife“ Gwendoline. The man feeding the fish strokes its head as it pops out of the water. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
