Les araignées de Rosalie
Jane and the Spiders
Romeo Bosetti
Chambermaid Rosalie finds a spider while she’s cleaning: a spider in the morning brings grief and worry. She kills the unfortunate insect − causing considerable collateral damage, only to discover a second spider at lunchtime while serving food… Arachnophobia à la Rosalie. The resilient and assertive character was portrayed by Sarah Duhamel in a whole series of silent films with great physical presence and huge success.
Romeo Bosetti

He joined Pathé Frères in 1906, where he specialised in short comedy films, many of them following Léontine and her mischievous pranks. Bosetti is considered a pioneer of slapstick in early French cinema. He died in Suresnes, France, in 1948.
