Léontine on Vacation
What would a vacation be for Titine without hellraising mischief? As a reward for receiving high marks at school, she goes on a peaceful jaunt to the countryside to visit her aunt and uncle. Naturally, she trips the gardener, futzes with her aunt’s expensive perfume, terrifies the cooks by levitating pots and pans (with hidden string!), enjoys a ..

Les Ficelles de Léontine
Hell hath no fury like Léontine with a piece of string! Our favorite mutinous miscreant returns with her weapon of choice, “pulling the strings” as she baits greedy bystanders to snatch at the tempting objects that ever elude their grasps.

Léontine’s Apprenticeship
It’s high time for tomboy Titine to settle down and learn a useful trade. Instead, she terrorizes any shop owner foolish enough to audition her labor. In a throwback to the third episode, where she apprentices for a milliner, Titine drops a carton of fancy hats that are crushed by a steamroller. Then she throws a cake at the baker’s best custom..
Léontine garde la maison
In a last gasp effort to school Titine in domestic labor, her parents entrust her with housesitting.

In a futile effort to find her baby brother and pet dog, she inheri..
Les malices de Léontine
Yet again, Léontine ignores the well-meaning advice of her mother. She attempts to hang her downstairs neighbor (played by a man in drag) with a rope, which she then uses to attach a bookseller’s kiosk to a moving vehicle. A vengeful mob and the police gather, as they do, but she entraps them on a scaffolding by removing the rope ladder.
Léontine enfant terrible
Léontine goes on a dish-breaking rampage to protest her parents’ boring rules, so they kick her to the curb.

She drops a pumpkin on a shopkeeper’s head, ties someone’s furniture to a moving vehicle, and then explodes firew..
Léontine’s Battery
Léontine lights up our lives with an electric battery, electrocuting everyone in her path. Her victims include two old ladies (played by men in drag), dancers at a café, workers on a construction site, a group of lackluster conscripts, and the local police force. To add insult to injury, she douses everyone with buckets of water.
Léontine Becomes an Errand Girl
The oldest surviving film in the Léontine series, this incomplete escapade features everyone’s favorite “mistress of mayhem” doing what she does best: wreaking total havoc and defying repressive authority.
