Summary
Kino Classics and Lobster Films celebrate the legacy of Max Linder, a pioneer of comedy whom Charlie Chaplin referred to as "the great master."With his trademark silk top hat and cane, the French-born Linder blended slapstick with sophistication, and invested his films with a layer of clevernessthat elevated them above mere knockabout comedies, paving the way for such multi-dimensional screen comedians as Chaplin, Buster Keaton,and Harold Lloyd. The collection includes four of Linder's American-made productions, meticulously restored from archival materials: THE THREEMUST-GET-THERES (1922, a parody of The Three Musketeers), SEVEN YEARS BAD LUCK (1921, a masterpiece of physical comedy), and the romantic farces BE MY WIFE (1921)and MAX WANTS A DIVORCE (1917).
