Cast
Georges Méliès Jeanne Mareyla

Sinekatalog’s take
A magician multiplies and merges women through trick photography in this early comic short. It is a neat showcase of sleight-of-hand cinema. A small, playful delight for admirers of the pioneer's wizardry.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
