'Le Nouveau Seigneur du village', also known as 'On ne badine pas avec l'amour', and known in English as 'No Trifling With Love' and as 'The New Lord of the Village', is a 1908 French short silent film released by Georges Mlis, and supervised by an actor-director employee of Mlis's, known as Manuel.

Production



The film is one of many made in 1908 for Mlis by the actor Manuel. Mlis hardly ever appeared in Manuel's films, which were mainly made in the larger of Mlis's two studios, Studio B.

The cast includes Fernande Albany as the mother, and a Mademoiselle Bodson as the bride. The unidentified actor who plays the Marquis would go on to play Baron Munchausen in Mlis's 1911 film 'Baron Munchausen's Dream', while the actor playing the bailiff had already played a similar role in Mlis's 1905 film 'Rip's Dream'.

Release



'Le Nouveau Seigneur du village' was sold by Mlis's Star Film Company and is numbered 11321145 in its catalogues, where it was advertised as a 'scne comique spectacle' ("spectacular comic scene"). In the United States, it was sold under the title 'No Trifling With Love'.Malthte & Mannoni 2008, p. 353. Since then, the film has also been known as 'The New Lord of the Village'; this title was used for David Shepard's restoration released to home video in 2008. In French, the film has also been referred to as 'On ne badine pas avec l'amour' (literally "No Trifling with Love").
