Yes, that American movie shot by the French genius Max Linder is 100 years old, and sadly not very well known. As I already said in my reviews about his short movies, Max Linder was a pioneer in slapstick. After a nasty period for ML (WWI and personal depression), he tried a long feature in United States, and directed a masterpiece with lot of gags and some genius sequences : of course the mirror scene, and also the station scene when he finds a way to get in the train without ticket, that scene proves how much he thinks how to place intelligently his camera.
Max Linder was handsome, funny, charming, precise. In all his movies I saw, they were all brilliantly shot and edited, really fast paced. Despite a DVD box, he still remains forgotten. But not with the kids in my family, they love Max.
