Summary: The conjurer appears at a blackboard and shows the head of a knight on it. He seizes the picture of the head, removes it from the blackboard, and it turns into life and bows and smiles apparently with a body being attached to it. The conjurer then seizes a sword and runs it completely through the head, entering at the neck and going right through the top of the skull. (imdb)

Almost always the most cleverly envisioned and realized of an early era's film snaps, Melies' ventures often lack seamlessness (how could they not in 1899?) but sometimes reward viewing through feats of charm and ambition. Le chevalier mystère ranks among the most delectable of those Melies efforts.

Another of Melies's I'm-the-magician shorts, only with a medieval theme. Nice to see him experimenting with other forms of special effects
