What happens

Le Friquet è un cortometraggio muto del 1914 diretto da Maurice Tourneur. La sceneggiatura si basa sulla commedia di Willy che, a sua volta, trae spunto dal romanzo omonimo di Gyp. Le Friquet di Willy (pseudonimo di Henry Gauthier-Villars) debuttò a Parigi al Théâtre du Gymnase il 30 settembre 1904. Il film avrà un rifacimento nel 1919 diretto da Gero Zambuto: Friquet avrà come interprete principale Leda Gys. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
