And a whole lot of them is what we we see in one of Louis Lumière's earlier short films. They're stepping off the boat in their expensive suits, posh hats and walking sticks. Shortly afterward the ladies follow, equally well-dressed and then many more pompous men. The whole spectacle goes for 45 seconds, rather long for a Lumière short film from 1895. Everybody depicted seems to be in a quite good mood and even if they're certainly not 100% sure what exactly is going on, they're smiling to the man with the camera, occasionally even greeting him by taking their cylinders off if their hands aren't occupied by holding a cigarette. Okay short-film, not as boring as some others, but not among the very best from Lumière either.
