VINGT-QUATRE HEURES DE LA VIE D'UN CLOWN (1945)
Link discovered by Jon Davison
This print of the film is rather unfortunately "narrarated" in Russian over the original French soundtrack.
Jean Pierre Melville's first film, the 1945 short 24 HOURS IN THE LIFE OF A CLOWN featuring the great Medrano clown, Béby. His whiteface parter here is Maïss, not his better known partner Umberto "Antonet" Guillaume, who passed away in 1935.

Tom gave me these great photos as slides when I saw him in Baltimore a few months back. I dropped them off with Todd who cleaned up, and color-corrected, the images for us...
