Mistake (1953 film)

Mistake is a 1953 American short film directed by Ford Beebe. The film is part of the "Pete Smith Specialties" series, known for their humorous and often absurd takes on everyday situations. Mistake follows a man who attempts to repair his kitchen faucet, encountering a series of escalating mishaps as his amateur plumbing skills prove inadequate. The film relies heavily on slapstick comedy and sight gags, typical of the Pete Smith style. The short runs for approximately 10 minutes and was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). While not a major cinematic event, Mistake remains a notable example of mid-20th century short film comedy.
