What happens

Max et le Mari jaloux est un film muet français réalisé par Max Linder, sorti en 1914. Une femme du monde décide de se lancer dans le cinéma et ce n'est pas du goût du mari qui croit que celle-ci flirte avec Max, son partenaire. Pour conquérir la gloire il suit sa femme sur les plateaux, mais ce ne sont que chutes, tartes et gifles qu'ils récoltent. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
