MAX LINDER
“Max Linder isn’t a household name, but the fact that CHARLIE
CHAPLIN CALLED HIM ‘THE GREAT MASTER’ should speak to
the quality of the man’s silent film work.”
- Film School Rejects
THE MAX LINDER COLLECTION
Max Linder was 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 cleverness that paved the way for comedians as
Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd. Includes
THE THREE MUST-GET-THERES (1922, 57 min, a
parody of The Three Musketeers), SEVEN YEARS BAD
LUCK (1921, 57 min, a masterpiece of physical comedy),
and the romantic farces BE MY WIFE (1921, 64 min) and
MAX WANTS A DIVORCE (1917, 27 min.).
