Реферат: Max Linder

Richard Lester version 50 years later pale by comparison. But the

films were only moderately successful with American audiences and

Linder found trouble getting his work distributed. Disconsolate after

a deal with Samuel Goldwyn fell through, Max returned to France.

There was one more film here and one in Austria but the

once-confident Linder was becoming an increasingly forlorn figure.

There was talk of another film but Linder and his young wife entered

into a suicide pact and, a few weeks short of his 42nd birthday, were

found dead together in a Paris hotel. Fortunately, in later years his

daughter Maud launched a battle to bring his genius to a fresh

audience, resulting in two compilation films, Laugh With Max Linder

in 1963, and The Man in the Silk Hat 20 years later.
