 | | Max Linder, pseudonym of Gabriel Leuvielle, made this film in 1910, at the age of 27, when his fame had already brought him to sign a contract with Pathé Frères of a million french francs a year for the realization of one reel of slapstick per week. |
 | | The film, two reels long, is part of a group of works that Max Linder realized on the Alps, more exactly at Chamonix: Max fait du Ski, Max asthmatique, Max et sa belle-mère, Max émule de Tartarin. |
 | | The copy recently acquired by the National Museum of the Mountain of Turin, that will be shown for the first time as one of the major events of the Breuil-Cervinia Festival, is a complete document, in its original version and in an excellent state of preservation. |
