Overview

This film from George Melies is sadly one that's only available in fragments. The film starts off with a title card stating that a drunk man has just thrown his family out a window. We see a couple of them landing on the ground and then we go back to the room where the drunk is now trying to kill himself.

Overview

The film is of a man who, judging from his face and the part of his costume that is visible, is made up as a clown. The shortness of the film permits little other than just identification. The photographic composition is a tight one-shot (close-up), and just the head and shoulders of the subject are visible.

This is a mesmerising little short that employs a peculiar bird’s eye view of a mischievous devil who dances around, performing strange tricks and making sexy ladies appear out of nowhere. The colourful visual effects are very impressive for the time.
