Directorial début of Gaston Roudès
This film (Sa petite fille) appears twice on IMDB, here and under its English title The Tie Tat Binds (where there is also a contemporary description) and elsewhere under its French title. Gaston Roudès who directs and stars began his career with the company Radios, taken over by Éclipse in 1909 although it retained its separate identity within the company. He acts opposite Andrée Roudès, presumably his wife and with what is also probably his own little daughter, Gilda. It is one of only two films in which he acted (both in 1911) but he would go on to make a name for himself as a director/producer in the 1920s and 1930s. While with Éclipse-Radios he also directed the French cowboy Joë Hamman in the series Arizona Bill, filmed in the Camargue. Hamman had already made westerns "camamber" with Jean Durand at Lux but these had been filmed in and around Paris. With Roudès, a sourtherner from Béziers, the locations would be switched to the Camargue where later westerns would also be made by Durand and Hamman for Gaumont.
This is a fairly simple melodrama about an alcoholic who decides to reform for the sake of his child, a subject that Roudès would return to in 1933 with his version of the Émile Zola novel L'Assommoir, made just two years after D. W. Griffith's' US version. The film is in the Desmet collection and appears on the EYE website under its Dutch title (translated) Parr Amour de son enfant.
