Musical magic

The Melomaniac (1903)

Directed by and staring George Melies this is a short film from the silent era. A band master uses telegraph lines to write music on.

Essentially this is a short built around using trick photography like many of Melies's early films. The plot is pretty simple and does not have much to it. Compared to other Melies films I have seen this is not the most impressive or entertaining but it does hold together.


3/5
