Le Coucher de la Mariée
Le Coucher de la Mariée or Bedtime for the Bride or The Bridegroom's Dilemma is a French erotic short film considered to be one of the first pornographic films (or "stag party films") made. The film was first screened in Paris in November 1896, within a year of the first public screening of a projected motion picture. The film was produced by Eugène Pirou and directed by Albert Kirchner under the pseudonym Léar.
Information
The original film has been estimated to be around 7 minutes long, but degraded to a poor condition in the French Film Archives until it was found in 1996, and only two minutes of the film have survived, which include merely undressing.
The film was shot in a theater set and featured cabaret performer Louise Willy who performs a striptease behind a screen from an unknown male actor who pretends to read a newspaper.
