Melomaniac, The, 26 February 2008
Author: Michael_Elliott from Louisville, KY

Melomaniac, The (1903) *** (out of 4) aka Le Melomane Entertaining film from the French master has him playing a band leader who is trying to teach six women the notes to sing and play. With nothing else to do, the leader (played by Melies) starts to remove him head and throw them up into the air where they catch on some lines and this way shows off the notes. There's nothing too overly special here that would make this one of the director's better films but it is highly entertaining with some great special effects to pull it together. The effect of Melies removing his head several times is very well done and their effect when up on the line is also done extremely well. The film has a few good laughs as well, which makes this one worth viewing.
