Overview

A pig dressed in fancy clothes flirts with a pretty girl, but she humiliates him and tears off his suit; she then makes him dance for her affections. It is a filmed version of a vaudeville act called "Le cochon mondain" by Odéo, who play the pig himself, in the suit he designed.

    An Edwardian-style, suited and respectable looking pig is constantly spurned by his love. She (Edith Trublanchet) scorns and shames him before breaking into a lively and quite well synchronised dance which must have been quite difficult for pig - especially as even the set now starts to conspire against it too! Of course it's not a real pig, but there was something creepy about this that I just didn't like. It humanises the animal only to ridicule it and that makes this short feature almost cruel, reminiscent of circus freakery. Great teeth though!...
