Feu Mathias Pascal
''Feu Mathias Pascal'' (''The late Matthias Pascal'') is a 1925 French silent film written and directed by Marcel L'Herbier. It was the first film adaptation of Luigi Pirandello's novel '' Il fu Mattia Pascal''. Background Since seeing a Paris production of Pirandello's play '' Sei personnaggi in cerca d'autore'', L'Herbier had been eager to collaborate with the author on a film of one of his works, but hitherto Pirandello had been unwilling to give permission for any adaptations because he would not accept the compromises that were asked of him. When however a proposal was put to him on L'Herbier's behalf to film his novel '' Il fu Mattia Pascal'', he was sufficiently impressed by the film-maker's earlier work to give his enthusiastic agreement.Marcel L'Herbier, ''La Tête qui tourne''. (Paris: Belfond, 1979.) pp. 115–117. L'Herbier's ideal choice for the title role was the Russian émigré actor Ivan Mosjoukine who was under contract to the Films Albatros company. Negotiatio ...
