🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs a classic situational comedy, relying on the contrast between the hero's humble past and his newfound, flashy wealth. It explores themes of social pretense and greed through gags involving money and a rapid transformation.
Those who tire of heavy dramas will find a brisk, amusing short where the moral about ill-gotten gains is delivered with a light touch. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Alice Guy-Blaché
