Details.
Wiki.
Fiddlesticks is a 1927 silent black and white short American film starring Harry Langdon directed by Harry Edwards and written by Frank Capra and produced by Mack Sennett."Fiddlesticks" is a faux swear word (i.e. in place of true swearing) common in the early 20th century and defunct by the end of the 20th century. In the context of the film it acts as a kind of pun in relation to Harry's double bass looking like an oversized fiddle.The film was the final collaboration between Harry Langdon and Mack Sennett. The plot paralleled the Harold Lloyd film The Kid Brother released earlier that year.
