The Misadventure of a French Gentleman Without Pants at the Zandvoort Beach (Dutch: De mésaventure van een Fransch heertje zonder pantalon aan het strand te Zandvoort) is a 1905 early Dutch silent film directed by Willy Mullens, and produced by Alberts Frères.

The first major problem arose before the shooting even started: the actor hired to play the gentleman was not allowed to do so by his fiancée, who lived in Zandvoort.

The real policeman guarding the beach area did not take kindly to the spectacle (naked legs were illegal at the time) and took the entire crew to the local police office to sort matters out.

The brothers had color posters printed, announcing that the truth would be shown in their movie theater; they used the current title as well as the alternate "Tragic Scene of a French Gentleman at the Zandvoort Beach.
