The Pumpkin Race poster

Released in 1907, The Pumpkin Race is a notable film directed by Louis Feuillade.

What it’s about. Early slapstick short from Louis Feuillade involving runaways, except that, instead of it being a runaway horse (see Griffith's THE CURTAIN POLE for an example), it is a cartful of what appear to be hundred-pound pumpkins that get away, rushing hither and yon, down sewers, up chimneys, pursued by the drayer, a couple of other people and a very unwilling donkey.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.6/10, The Pumpkin Race has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
