Not a devil in sight

 

The Devilish Plank (1904)


Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. Two pots on a plank are the basis for magic.


Devilish seems like a bit of an over sell, fun yes but not that much evil to it. The camera trick is fine as is the backdrop. Lacks a bit of narrative or personality.


2/5
