This was amazing! The Merry Frolics of Satan has always been one of my favorite Georges Méliès movies and one of my favorite movies from the 1900s. I've seen multiple incomplete versions of this movie, but seeing it complete, with context given in the captions and with a great score for the first time is breathtaking and makes me so happy. Thank you so much for uploading this!

I can’t get enough of these great pieces of early cinema ❤

What a marvelous production! I can only imagine what people thought of this in 1906? Amazing!

[Magnetron]

Master pioneer filmaker. One of films earliest inventors and creators.Amazing imagination

[shaunbolton]

Astounding work of art! Stage magic and movie magic combine into a surreal stream of consciousness tour of Earth, space and even hell! The intermittent bursts of color are delightful surprises, and the whole picture is a total head trip before that was even a thing! I have the greatest admiration for the pioneering work of the first special effects creator, Georges Méliès- a true artiste!

Wildest fever dream I've ever seen. I'm guessing second takes weren't invented yet. I did enjoy this piece of history and art. It was just so wild

[garryferrington]

This was saved close to the last minute. You can see nitrate decomposition starting. Had to watch without the "music."

[aurygrandson]

This movie is so well made i assume they spend a fortune with the production

[larryaldrich]

Remarkably well-preserved. The two-dimensional props are very well rendered and convincing.

[calebrands]

OMG, is this going to be the full, uncut version?

[michelefritchie]

The dialogue boards move too fast for me to read them all.

[bobcurry]

My mind boggles at all the creative work to pull off these films of Melies! All that background scenery had to be designed and hand painted. All those props had to be created and built by hand. All the costuming had to be created and made for all those extras. Paying for all this, including all those people that appeared in them had to cost a fortune! Did he get all that money back and make a profit, too? Or was he wealthy and used his own money to make his films? Anyone know?

[Bigbadwhitecracker]

Interesting film but I take issue with the music chosen. But that's just me probably. Thanks for the upload.
