The Diabolical Church Window
Original title: Le vitrail diabolique
5.7(13)19117mFR
Directed by Georges Méliès
Here we have an old scholar/alchemist brooding over a book, challenged by the devil, and going through the familiar sorcery to create a woman by throwing pieces of clothing against a stain-glass church window, like a jigsaw puzzle (and later in reverse). The woman also multiplies herself five-fold so as to match a similar paravent.
