Une dame vraiment bien (1908) 

** 1/2 (out of 4) 

Simple but mildly amusing comedy has a beautiful woman walking through the streets, which is enough to set off all sorts of damage of the men keep their eyes on her and not on what they should be doing. I'm really not sure what the story is behind two directors being needed on such a simple film but that really doesn't matter as we get some nice laughs. The film only runs four-minutes and we pretty much get the same joke over and over but it's pleasant and true enough to make even the most jaded person smile. We get countless scenes of men doing something only to be distracted by beauty and that's when trouble follows. This includes a man watering some grass only to then water a man sitting next to him. We see a man turn to look at the woman only to then run into a pole. One man trips over the sidewalk to then be punched by his girlfriend. That type of humor over and over. The movie isn't a long-lost classic but it's charming enough for fans of early cinema.
