Extraordinary Fishing

1901, French. Directed by Ferdinand Zecca.

Two anglers are quietly seated and get a bite. They both pull out the same fish. Each of them claims to be the owner of it which leads to a quarrel and in the struggle, both fall into the water. A third fisher comes on the scene and casts in his line. To his great astonishment, he pulls out the two men who are still fighting. He tries to separate them, but they resent his interference and throw him into the water. Filled with remorse, one of them jumps in after him and seeing neither of them reappear on the surface, the other also follows suit and is lucky enough to get them out, which results in a general reconciliation. A Pathé production that survives in the BFI collection.
