Works by Pathé (68)

Max In Monaco (Max à Monaco)

No story - just funny Max-drunk-again gags, this time on a boat.

Max And His Mother-in-law (Max et sa belle-mère)

Max has a new bride, but can't escape his mother-in-law. Twice the length, but fraction of laughs. Virtually every moment of the film shows Max in anger, yet that is not where Max's comic attraction dwells - he is lovable as a hapless twit. But it does provide historic confirmation for an axiom of comedy: your act is in trouble when you find yourself resorting to mother-in-law jokes.

Max's Elopement (Max au couvent)

Max rescues lover from a convent via an arranged kidnapping: an extended rework of "Romeo Turns Bandit". All romance, no comedy. Includes unusual insertion of a triptych screen.
