"Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?" -- Harry Warner, of Warner Bros. (1926) The Torn Trousers/In A Difficult Position (Mon Pantalon Est Décousu) Max uses finesse to try to hide a rip in his trousers during a dance. This is quintessential Max: the dapper and loveable upper-class twit whose efforts to impress ladies crash and burn while he tries to keep face, in the modern man's dilemma of maintaining the delusion of stability as his world falls apart.
