[edit] Production

It was filmed by means of the Cinématographe, an all-in-one camera, which also serves as a film projector and developer. As with all early Lumière movies, this film was made in a 35 mm format with an aspect ratio of 1.33:1. [2]

The production was shot at Villa du Clos des Plages in La Ciotat, France.

[edit] Plot

Three older men, wearing hats and smoking cigars, are sitting at a patio. Two of the men are playing cards at a table while the third man sits watching. As the game continues a (younger) waiter walks across carrying a tray with a bottle of wine and glasses on it. The man sitting at the table then proceeds to pour the drinks while the waiter observes the card game.
