No gag

 

After the Ball (1897)


Directed by Georges Melies this short film stars Jane Brady and Jehanne d'Alcy. A woman is undressed by her servant.


Not as salacious as you might imagine, the film does not full commit to the bit. Instead of water coal dust is used for the “bath” which is a bit silly really. Not Melies's greatest contribution to cinema.


2/5
