Le Voyage de la famille Bourrichon (known in English as The Voyage of the Bourrichon Family [2] or The Voyage of the Family Bourrichon [3]) is a 1912 French silent film directed by Georges Méliès, [1] based on a music-hall comedy by Eugène Labiche. [4] It is a comedy in the style of Max Linder, [3] and is notable for being Méliès's last film. [4]
Like all of Méliès's 1911–1912 films, The Voyage of the Bourrichon Family was made under the supervision of Charles Pathé and was planned for release by the Pathé Frères studio. [3] The film was probably completed by Méliès at the end of 1912 (or possibly the beginning of 1913), [5] and was advertised as an upcoming release in the French Ciné-Journal in May 1913. [5] Some accounts claim that Pathé did not actually ever release it. [3]
The film was presumed lost as late as 2000, [6] but was rediscovered in time to be included on a 2008 DVD collection of Méliès's films. [2]
