A man sees his head go from bald to full of long, luxurious hair in this delightful trick film.
It's quite an impressive film trick, as the man with growing hair and the man rubbing the elixir into his scalp are on screen and in movement throughout. While it is true that Georges Melies did this sort of thing regularly, this movie was shot in medium close-up, certain to,show off the smallest error or discontinuity.
Of course, my amazement at this short might be predicated on the fact that I am bald nowadays, alas. Perhaps my wish for such lotion has dulled my critical faculties.
