The Thing in the Trunk
by boblipton2018-08-18
5/10

"Before and after his other shorts series, Jean Durand had directed some standard works, like a shortened version of CYRANO, before settling in as Gaumont's house director for short comedy series. By 1909 he was directing Clément Mégé as Calino. In this one, Mégé decides he can use some extra income, so he takes on Gaston Modot as a boarder. Modot is an eccentric, by human if not slapstick standards. He breaks plates over Mégé's heads and wears a a helmet like a street cleaner or lion tamer... and when a bill is presented to him, he replies that his billfold is in the trunk; help you..."
