Charles-Lucien Lepine takes a break from directing his usual fine split-reel slapstick comedies to direct this two-reel movie; am immense undertaking in numerous scenes for the era, given that arguably the world's first feature film was only being directed in Australia that year. He is ably assisted by Segundo de Chomon as his cameraman and Georges Vinter in his first screen appearance.Given the title of the film, it must inevitably suggest Verne's AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS, albeit from the cop's perspective, and that is what is offered to the audience. The world as portrayed is clearly the one of the studio (as will be made clear in the epilogue) and it veers into a musical-comedy one, with Pathe's corps de ballet offering the audience a leg show. The copy I saw, although not in particularly good shape, was also extensively stencil-colored and should give the modern viewer a good idea of what a top-of-the-line production was for 1906.
