"Yes Max Linder influenced most slapstick genius since the 20's, from Chaplin to Tati. In this short, a doctor tells Max to take each day a glass of wine. Max uses a huge glass containing an entire bottle of quinquina and drinks it with a straw in a few Seconds. Completely drunk, he moves everywhere in the most silly way, having some troubles with people he meets, among them policemen (haven't we seen that later in Chaplin?). If Max Linder is wonderfully hilarious in front of the camera, he is also inventive behind the camera, his movies are a real pleasure to watch...."
