Pierrette's Escapades
Directed by Alice Guy-Blaché
Produced by Société L. Gaumont et compagnie
A lighthearted silent pantomime built on commedia dell'arte stock characters and romantic entanglement, colored by whimsy and period charm.
"Les Fredaines de Pierrette" is the collective name of four short films of 20 meters each ("Arrivée de Pierrette et de Pierrot", "Arrivée d'Arlequin", "Suite de la danse", and "Départ d'Arlequin et de Pierrette"), attributed to Alice Guy (although not confirmed in any primary source), in which Columbine resists Pierrette's courting in favor of Harlequin. From July 1901, the series were made available hand-colored.
