Max dans sa famille (1911) watch online HD

A tired-looking Max Linder is glad to get home; it must be a strenuous life, being a boulevardier in Paris. The family is glad to see him, and so is the dog, but the pony isn't. The darned beast keeps attacking him.

Max Linder was the first major international comedy star and this is a pleasant change of pace for his character. As with all families, no one takes him very seriously, particularly the trick pony who is his nemesis in this short, a clever little animal. Marcelle Leuvielle, whose only known screen appearance this is, is a fetching young woman who spends much of her time laughing at Max' discomfiture.

Moving picturedom has missed Max Linder, that genial comedian of the French Pathe Company. He has been very sick. This little comedy, so the first leader says, was enacted by him, with his father, mother and sister, to reassure his old friends, the patrons of moving pictures. We are glad to have him back again. There is no one else who is Max. The picture is a joy forever, and hearty laugh followed hearty laugh throughout the film. Not only is this comedy, which has no definite situation, full of amusement in its whimsical turns and unexpected happenings; but its views of a country place are lovely. There is a very humorous dog in it, and a very amusing trick pony. It is a first class picture. Good health to Max. May he give us many more pictures. - The Moving Picture World, May 25, 1912
