Max ne se mariera pas
Max is on his way to meet the in-laws when he steps on flypaper, and the rest of the reel is a man trying to be polite while stuck to himself. Nobody would have minded if he had explained. He cannot, and the handshake is where it all comes apart. Max Linder, Pathé, 1910, six minutes, escalation as the gag and manners as the joke.
