The Drunken Mattress (1906) Alice Guy & Romeo Bosetti

The Drunken Mattress ( French original title: Le Matelas Alcoolique ) is a 1906 film by Alice Guy, starring and co-directed by the French-Italian actor Romeo Bosetti . It was produced and distributed by Gaumont. The subject matter echoes that of Georges Méliès's film, released in the same year,  La Cardeuse de matelas:

While Méliès resolves the story in only two scenes shot in the studio, Alice Guy and Bosetti shoot outdoors, multiplying scenes and shots and also resorting to short camera movements.

This film, the twelfth of his career, marked the directorial debut for the Italian-French actor Romeo Bosetti. Born in 1879 in Chiari, Italy, into a family of circus performers, he made his debut in show business at the age of ten. A mime and acrobat, he toured the U.S. in 1905 with the Barnum Circus and, back in France, began working as an actor for the cinematograph before turning to directing with Le Matelas alcoolique. He later participated as a producer in three episodes of Fantômas and directed a comedy series based on his own character, Romeo. He was the author of more than 250 comedy films before leaving for the front in 1916. Returning wounded from the Great War, he never resumed his film career. He passed away in France in 1948.

My film histories class was about Alice Guy Blaché and her history and contributions to film. One of the pioneers of film and the fort female director her history has been obscured. Her work credited to men, including the creation of her production company Solax being credited to her husband (who had not succeeded in his attempt at directing, cheated on her and left his family)

The story of Alice Guy Blaché is of frustration as her films still hold up today and yet she had been erased from history for quite sometime. Even during her efforts to correct historical errors was she ignored.

Early Lesbian Film: Midwife to the Upper Class (1902), Dir. Alice Guy

Midwife to the Upper Class is a 1902 film directed by Alice Guy. It is a three-character adaptation of the subject of her first film, The Cabbage Fairy (1896). A young peasant couple approaches the counter of a store where children are being sold. The saleswoman shows them various "items," but none of them seem to satisfy them. The shopkeeper then leads the couple to the storeroom—a garden overflowing with cabbages. She shows them different babies, which she extracts directly from the vegetables. After finding the baby that suits them, the young newlyweds settle the bill and leave. The performers in this film are all women: Yvonne and Germaine Serand play the roles of the saleswoman and the young bride. The success of the original Cabbage Fairy relied on a single scene: a fairy extracting real babies from giant theater cabbages. However, a new storyline idea tarnishes the contemporary view of the film by reflecting the deep-rooted racism of that era: the introduction of a (fake) black baby, which is horrifyingly rejected by the prospective parents. The spontaneous rejection portrayed is difficult to watch in a film that already depicts the unsettling fantasy of being able to choose one's future child, adding a store and a couple with their savings pulled from a sock to the original enchanting scene.
