Max Linder made 233 films. I’ve clearly missed the boat on him, as Max Wants a Divorce was among his final films. He only made 10 more after this one.
I watched this on a DVD that includes 3 other Linder films. Click the image below if you’d like to buy a copy of your own. (I get nothing if you do, so this isn’t a ploy to make money.)
The film is in the public domain, and can be viewed here.
Here is the other film I watched, from 1911, which predates Chaplin’s earliest works by 3 years. Linder is already light years ahead of Chaplin here, and it’s criminal that he’s not better known.
Next I’m watching A Revolutionary [1917], directed by Yevgeny Bauer.
