The Race for the Sausage (1907) Alice Guy

The Race for the Sausage (French: Course à la saucisse ) is a 1907 film by • Alice Guy
A comedy film with a chase, already a classic feature of the young cinema. Watch • Ferdinand Zecca: The P... .
Dotted with accidents caused by the procession of pursuers, in a partly natural setting, the film also depicts everyday life at the time. And the spectacular effect of the stunts and damage has lost none of its effectiveness (a fall among the pigs 1:46, a pram run over by a train 4:21...).
Synopsis: (0:15) A poodle steals a long sausage from a grocery counter. Alarmed by this precious loss, the owners set off in pursuit of the delinquent animal. (0:21) Running through the city streets, the dog creates a procession of unlikely pursuers who end up fighting over a piece of the precious sausage thanks to the unexpected intervention of a hunter (3:47), who fires a shotgun and splits the sausage in two. The poodle, meanwhile, will have already consumed his booty without further ado (4:21).

Alice Guy (b. 1873, Saint-Mandé, France; d. 1968, Wayne, New Jersey, USA) was a pioneering filmmaker, the world's first director and producer. She began working as a secretary for the Gaumont company and became a key figure, shooting numerous short films, reports, short silent scenes and sound phonoscenes. Lacking collaborators, she devoted herself personally to training directors, editors and set designers. In 1907, Alice Guy resigned from Gaumont, married Herbert Blaché, employed by the same company, and both moved to the United States. There, Alice Guy-Blaché founded her own production company, Solax, the first film company run by a woman. However, Solax failed to survive the transition from shorts to feature films.

[@JCBleike]

The audiences at the Gaumont Theatre in Paris must have been rolling in the isles. Alice Guy was the head of production for all of the movies produced for/by Gaumont.

One of the best short-film ever. So underrated.

[@ralmcg]

That mass chase was quite funny. And that was before Max Sennett's and Charlie Chaplin's most important movie eras.
