The Fisherman at the Stream

It could be said that the essence of comedy is the misfortune of others. Among other things, of course. In THE FISHERMAN AT THE STREAM, our fisherman is set upon by a band of swimmers (for the sake of humor). Where there is water, someone should be thrown in. When attacked, fight back!

Disappearing Act

DISAPPEARING ACT represents, as you might suspect, a magic act. Not any ordinary act, however. More of a "metamorphosis" in the hands of director Alice Guy. In the parlance of the era, the short is an example of a "trick" film (in that the magic performance is a result of camera trickery and not by any...

The Burglars

Alice Guy's brief THE BURGLARS takes a classic cops-and-robbers set-up and places it upon the roofs of Paris circa late-1800s (albeit a Méliès-like set that approximates the city skyline). Second-story men have considerable difficulties once the French police get involved!

At the Hypnotist's

One of Alice Guy’s earliest films to include a story, AT THE HYPNOTIST'S is an uncharacteristic trick film in the style of George Méliès. It addresses the power of identity instilled by a uniform (or, rather, by what we wear). Any explanation beyond that would be speculative at best. When Guy departed...

Surprise Attack on a House at Daybreak
