Good Glue Sticks
Original title: La colle universelle
1907 · 5 min
Georges MélièsCast
Plot
A peddler of "the best glue" sets up his outdoor stall. A crowd gathers for a demonstration. As he gives his pitch, two observant cops decide drive off his customers and close him down, much to his fury. He seeks revenge as they sit on a park bench.
Sinekatalog’s take
A glue peddler's demonstration is wrecked by two policemen and he plots revenge, in a Méliès slapstick sketch. It is brisk and funny in its early-cinema way. A quick amusing look at the roots of screen comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
