Audience Member awesome example of slapstick comedy very funny Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the only surviving Feature Films by French Comedian Max Linder who was a great comedian who made films in the US from 1920-22 then went back to Paris in 23' and sadly took his life. He truly was a cinematic talent he was a subtle clever comedian & was far more subtler & effective director than Chaplain & for some years was his direct rival. This is a clever situational comedy that requires a viewing. It's fast & exciting & since there is scarce a Max Linder film left it makes it all the more worthwhile. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Linder is one of those talents deserving wider recognition. He stretches a string of gags into a very entertaining feature that combines a great deal of dexterity, a great deal of brains and nerve (best use of blackface I've seen in a long time), and a strong supporting cast. There's a mirror sequence here as good as Duck Soup. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member comedy about the consequnces of breaking a mirror Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member one of the master piece and the only one i saw of Linder. i was told that chaplin and keaton adapted a lot from his silent movies and improved a lot. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Max Linder is funnier than I expected him to be...you know, for being a murderer and all.
