English: Director: Willy Mullens | Production Country: The Netherlands | Year: 1905 | Production Company: Alberts Frères | Film from the collection of EYE (Amsterdam) - https://www.eyefilm.nl/en/collection/film-history/film/de-m%C3%A9saventure-van-een-fransch-heertje-zonder-pantalon-aan-het-strand
'Zandvoort in an uproar! On Saturday morning at roughly 10 o’clock, with beautiful weather and calm seas, a Frenchman sat in a beach chair to gaze upon the magnificent view that the sea always affords, until he slowly began to fall asleep [...]’ So begins a report in the ‘Zandvoortsche Courant’ of July 25, 1905. | The article explains how the man was faced with the oncoming tide, are – to the amazement of the audience – took off his trousers to prevent them from being ruined by the saltwater. On the beach, a mocking crowd awaited him. While trying to escape from the policeman who had rushed to the scene, he jumps into a passing car, and hides out in a small changing cabin. The man then disguises himself in women’s clothing, but is still nabbed by the police. Accompanied by a band and a large crowd, he is escorted to the police station. | The article ends by saying that ‘Messrs. Alberts Frères’ had staged the whole incident for a film in which two of the most popular genres of that period - the locally-shot film and the chase film – would be combined. The incident also made front page news in the ‘Algemeen Handelsblad’ of July 24, 1905 – though that article failed to mention that the incident had been staged for a film. |
