Film Notes
On the wave of comedy films describing catastrophic apprenticeships (such as Les Débuts d’un aéronaute and Les Débuts d’un patineur by Max Linder in 1907), here André Deed, who had already appeared in Les Débuts d’un chauffeur in 1906 and Les Apprentissages de Boireau in 1907, grapples with the difficult and rather dangerous art of maneuvering the oars on a boat. A swim is guaranteed! In 1908 he made L’Apprenti architecte.
