Laughing to the Max

Although I had always been very much aware of Max Linder, I must confess I had never seen his work. And by saying I had never seen it, I mean I have never had the opportunity to. However, thanks to Paul Merton, on Sunday evening I was finally given the great chance to see this man in action, and I was thoroughly delighted at Mr Linder's talents. I shall certainly be buying up available DVDs to add to my ever increasing collection; although watching him it was intended on a huge screen in an early cinema will be sorely noted.

And although Mr Linder's own personal story was no laughing matter - for which I bow my head, respectfully - I hope that somewhere out there, wherever he may observing from, he knows that he left us with the precious gift of bringing a smile to grace our lips because of his magic.
