Max Sets the Fashion

1912 · 9 min Comedy
5.2 / 10 · TMDB

Max, awakening on his wedding morning, discovers that it is close on the hour when he should be at the church. He dresses hastily, and in struggling with a refractory collar, allows his boots to be burnt by the fire. There is no time to change them, and he hastens off to the bride's house. On the way his soles part company with their uppers, and poor Max enters into negotiations with a passing labourer for the purchase of his footgear.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic comedy of errors, relying on a crescendo of mundane misfortunes. It explores physical humor through the expressive pantomime of Max Linder, the era's defining comic star.

What lingers after the final gag is the pure, uncomplicated joy of silent-era slapstick. A perfectly timed piece of cinematic levity that reminds us comedy needs no translation — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Max Linder
