How Monsieur Takes His
Bath (1903)
Directed by Alice
Guy-Blache this is a nearly short film staring Ferdinand Zecca. When
he tries to get undressed for a bath a man finds he is wearing an
ever increasing amount of clothes.
On the surface this
seems like a fairly simple camera trick film and is pretty
entertaining. When put in a historical context this is intended as a
reversal of the number of layers women of the period were expected to
wear. A decent short with something to say.
3/5
