What happens
Le Matelas Alcoolique is a 1906 short comedy film directed by Romeo Bosetti and Alice Guy-Blaché. The film stars Bosetti as the only named actor. The story follows a drunken man who is sewn into a mattress by a maid and then is delivered to a couple who have to deal with the pains of sleeping on their uncomfortable new mattress. This film is very similar to Georges Méliès’s film La Cardeuse de matelas. However, the main innovation of this film is that it is shot outdoors. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
