Rigadin riche, Rigadin pauvre (1912)

Overview

Charles Prince has grown wealthy, put on a fat suit and combed his hair to show he is balding. Meanwhile, his brother (also played by Prince) has failed to prosper, so he wears a flat cap. The wealthy one refuses to help his brother, so the poor one goes to a lake, writes a suicide note, and.... his brother comes along and reads the note. Now the wealthy one imagines his brother dead and sees his face everywhere, particularly on other people.
