Max Linder in Max and the Lady Doctor
Pathe comedy by Max Linder, who wrote, directed and starred in it. "Max makes love to the lady doctor, who, of course, cannot forbid his visiting her, and we see him married later to the lady, but each time he starts to embrace she is called away to treat a sudden patient. Finally he kicks all the patients out of the office and domesticity reigns supreme". F. (The New York Dramatic Mirror, Dec. 9, 1914) Note: The IMDB gives 1909 as release date. That has proven to be wrong, when film historian Henri Bousquet published his 'Catalogue Pathe des annees 1896 a 1914' in 1995. Max did star however in an earlier version "Le mari de la doctoresse" (Lady doctor's husband) in late 1907, but no print of that film seems to has survived.
