Little Moritz enlève Rosalie ( Eng . Little Moritz kidnaps Rosalie ) is a French silent film comedy directed by Henri Gambard from 1911.
action
Rosalie writes a letter to Moritz. He then prepares the kidnapping of his lover with an accomplice. In order to keep the illusion in front of her father, he wants to carry his buxom girlfriend out the window, but he always collapses under her weight. They both eventually fall out the window. The noise alarms Rosalie's father, who follows the fleeing couple with his dog.
Rosalie and Moritz continue their escape in a car. When the vehicle falls down an embankment, Moritz tries to throw Rosalie over his shoulder and flee from her father. Soon, however, he is exhausted and is now carried by Rosalie herself. Both flee from their father on the roof of a house, where Moritz threatens to pass out from the smoke from the chimney. Rosalie stands on the chimney with her dress on, the skirt puffs up and she floats into the sky. Moritz holds her by the legs and is also carried up. With him he pulls up the father's dog, which has bitten into his trouser pocket. All three float to the moon, which they twist, and finally plunge into the depths - through the roof they fall through the apartment below to Rosalie's room, where their father is already waiting for them. When he pulls out a knife, Moritz flees the window again and lands at the feet of a puzzled passerby. Shaking his head and laughing, Moritz can't believe what has just happened to him.
