  • Beschreibung: Short feature film about a seaside visitor without trousers 'Zandvoort in an uproar! On Saturday morning at roughly 10 o'clock, with beautiful weather and calm seas, a Frenchman sat in a beach chair to gaze upon the magnificent view that the sea always affords, until he slowly began to fall asleep [...]' So begins a report in the 'Zandvoortsche Courant' of July 25, 1905. The article explains how the man was faced with the oncoming tide, are - to the amazement of the audience - took off his trousers to prevent them from being ruined by the saltwater. On the beach, a mocking crowd awaited him. While trying to escape from the policeman who had rushed to the scene, he jumps into a passing car, and hides out in a small changing cabin. The man then disguises himself in women's clothing, but is still nabbed by the police. Accompanied by a band and a large crowd, he is escorted to the police station. The article ends by saying that 'Messrs. Alberts Frères' had staged the whole incident for a film in which two of the most popular genres of that period - the locally-shot film and the chase film - would be combined. The incident also made front page news in the 'Algemeen Handelsblad' of July 24, 1905 - though that article failed to mention that the incident had been staged for a film.
