Nick Carter, le roi des détectives
- 1908 (1908)
Nick Carter, le roi des détectives (1908) is a French silent serial film based on the popular American novels featuring master detective Nick Carter. It was written by Georges Hatot[1] and directed by Victorin-Hippolyte Jasset for the Éclair company. It was released in six episodes, each of which told a complete story, but their release was timed at approximately fortnightly intervals to create a sense of continuity with the audience. The stories were set in Paris.
Episodes
The episodes and their release dates were as follows:[2]
- Part 1. Le Guet-Apens (The Doctor's Rescue). 8 September 1908.
- Part 2. L'Affaire des bijoux (The Jewel Affair). 22 September 1908.
- Part 3. Les Faux Monnayeurs (False Coiners). 6 October 1908.

The success of the film led the company to make further Nick Carter adaptations in the following years, and there were also imitations made by other companies.
