Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Peter stows away on a ship from Italy, and arrives in New York, pursued by the ship’s captain. He is advised that he will find other Italians in Little Italy, so he goes there, where Gepetto takes him in, after he attempts to steal some food. He tries to be good, but gets in trouble for stealing, so Jimmy the pizza man has to show him the way and get him to school. He thinks he isn’t important, so he tells tall tales, scratching his nose each time. He tells people that Gepetto is a big important politician, so people automatically want to support him, though Gepetto is not running for anything.

Viewing Notes
One of Paul’s selections for his block during the TRR-TV 2 year anniversary movie marathon. Paul only played short films and videos and clips for his block. This one was directed by the guy who was to do the Chippendales movie but was murdered. He did a lot of these short films based on fairy tales in the late seventies for NBC. This one is based on Pinocchio. It’s got that 70s NYC grimy charm.
