Works by Max Linder (64)

Max Professor Of Tango (Max professeur de Tango)

One, two, three - puke! A drunken tango lesson by Max is the old “Walk this way” gag taken to the extreme. Showcases both his smooth dancing style (7 years before Valentino's tango!), as well as his masterful physical comedic skill, in a clever skit that needed no intertitles.

Max And The Lady Doctor (Max et la doctoresse)

In the first act, Max must overcome his shyness to declare his love for a lady doctor. Some funny stuff here. In the second act, he faces numerous obstacles on his wedding night. Not much Max here, just lots of strange medical practices. In the final act, he restores his privileged position of malehood, as in the Alice Guy-Blaché film “The Consequences of Feminism (1906)” - sans the profound irony. But the major shortcoming here is too much angry Max, not enough lovable hapless twit.

Max Plays The Drama (Max joue le drame)

Max performs tragedy - and leaves not a dry eye in the house. Could be viewed as a parody of his bumbling in "La légende de Polichinelle (1907)".
