An Adventurous Automobile Trip

An Adventurous Automobile Trip (French: Le Raid Paris–Monte-Carlo en automobile or Le Raid Paris–Monte-Carlo en deux heures) is a 1905 French short silent comedy film directed by Georges Méliès. The film, a spoof of the devil-may-care motoring exploits of King Leopold II of Belgium, features the King engaging in a manic, implausibly fast automobile ride from Paris to Monte Carlo. The singer-comedian Harry Fragson stars as the King, supported by a large cast of stage performers from the Folies Bergère cabaret and other venues, with two cameo appearances from Méliès himself.
