Le déshabillage impossible (1900)

Wissenswertes

Le Déshabillage impossible, released in the United States as Going to Bed Under Difficulties and in the United Kingdom as An Increasing Wardrobe, is a 1900 French short silent comedy trick film, directed by Georges Méliès. In the film, a man attempts to undress so he can go to sleep.

Production and release

Méliès plays the man in the film. An editing effect called the substitution splice was used for the magically appearing clothes. An American catalogue mentions that the end of the film also uses fast motion photography as a special effect; if so, it is the only known Méliès film to do so. (It is difficult to verify whether fast motion was used at the end, since the last few seconds appear to be missing from the surviving print.)

The film was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and numbered 312–313 in its catalogues.
