When Emile Lost His Temper (silent, 1928)

This 1930s educational film explores themes of responsibility, consequences, and reconciliation in both school and home settings. Beginning in a lively schoolyard, the story shifts to a classroom where a disruptive student throws chalk, leading to a broken window and a serious conversation with the principal. The narrative illustrates accountability, as the student is tasked with writing an apology and temporarily loses privileges, such as access to the school tennis courts. Interwoven are scenes of moral lessons taught by a mother to her young child at home. Ultimately, the story resolves with the student earning back privileges through good behavior, highlighting the importance of actions, reflection, and making amends.
