Italian comedy about a governor who wants a miller's wife and tries to fix a night with her by putting the miller in jail. The the film looks funny. Visually very comic styled and all nicely done. But there just isn't enough good jokes that works. Just little hints of laughs here and there with barely any of the chaotic scenes bringing the smiles as it should have. Too bad, because it had the right actors for the job and just needed a little tweaking with better gag-men.

IMDb
Also known as Three-Cornered Hat, this Italian comedy is based on a Spanish folk tale (by Pedro Antonio de Alarcуn), which had previously been adapted as a ballet by Manuel de Filla.
Director Mario Camerini and his team of screenwriters have refashioned the material as a vehicle for the popular De Filippo brothers, Peppino and Eduardo.
The story is a mistaken-identity affair, predicated on the fact that a pompous governor is the exact look-alike of a poor miller. Much of the fun is derived from the efforts to pass off the miller's homely wife as the governor's gorgeous spouse.
Described by one Mario Camerini devotee as "pretty, noisy and accomplished", 'Il Cappello a Tre Punte' was filmed in 1934, and released in the U.S. two years later.
