Max is about to make his first call upon a young lady, the daughter of distinguished parents, and he wants to make a good impression. As he dresses to go out he stoops over to fix his shoe and, horrors! He tears his trousers. Where? Well, in a most embarrassing place. He fixes them hurriedly, trusting to have his coat tails cover it, but alas, the coat is too short for this purpose. Nevertheless, he takes a chance and, arriving at the house has the butler make a close inspection. He seems to be all right and enters, but when he bows to his hostess he hears the sickening sound of tearing cloth and knows that his patch has given way. Max hastily seats himself and during the rest of the evening performs the most astounding feats to hide his terrible secret.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The short film constructs its comedy of manners around the universal fear of social disgrace. It relies on a single, relatable mishap and the actor's expressive physical performance to escalate the situation into a series of cringe-worthy moments.

What lingers after the final bow is the charm of a simple, well-executed farce. The film is a reminder that the most effective humor often stems from a shared, empathetic wince. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lucien Nonguet

Watch in good spirits as a prime example of early silent comedy. Perfect for a short, cheerful break.
