Plot
This film from George Melies is sadly one that's only available in fragments. The film starts off with a title card stating that a drunk man has just thrown his family out a window.
Sinekatalog’s take
A fragmentary Méliès film about a drunk man's reckless act toward his family. Only partly surviving, it remains a rough slice of morality-tale comedy mostly of value to archivists and completists.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
