Booth, featuring a mediaeval knight battling to save a damsel from an ogre and a witch. The film, "is impressively elaborate, with single shots containing multiple trick effects achieved through complex double exposures and superimpositions," and according to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, "was so startling that it moved the legendary stage illusionist J.N. Maskelyne (of Maskelyne and Devant fame) to describe ''The Magic Sword'' as the finest trick film made up to then." Plot On the roof of an old palace appear a young knight and his lady. While they are dancing happily, a witch who wants to capture the lady shows up.

L'Homme à La Tête En Caoutchouc
''The Man with the Rubber Head'' (french: L'Homme à la tête en caoutchouc), also known as ''A Swelled Head'', is a 1901 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. The film stars Méliès himself as an apothecary who blows a copy of his own head up to enormous dimensions, but who is unable to get his assistant to perform the stunt as expertly. The special effect of the inflated head, made with a novel combination of purpose-built moving equipment and multiple exposures, evokes the modern close-up and enjoys an iconic place among Méliès's works. Plot In a laboratory, an apothecary plans a novel experiment. Putting a living duplicate of his own head on a table, he uses a bellows to swell the head up to gigantic size. The head enjoys itself by making faces and laughing with the apothecary, who then completes the experiment by letting the air out and returning the head to normal. The apothecary then attempts to have his assistant reproduce the experiment, but the assistant infla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
