Charming


The Charmer (1906)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this is an early short film. A man turns a caterpillar into a woman with butterfly wings.

As with many of the director's films this is one with a lovely backdrop and great costumes to fit the fantasy content. The plot is fairly so-so and the action consists of a few trick photography shots and some dancing round. A solid example of the director's work from the period.

3/5
