Here we have an old scholar/alchemist brooding over a book, challenged by the devil, and going through the familiar sorcery to create a woman by throwing pieces of clothing against a stain-glass church window, like a jigsaw puzzle (and later in reverse). The woman also multiplies herself five-fold so as to match a similar paravent.
The Diabolical Church Window was directed by Georges Méliès.
The Diabolical Church Window runs for 7min, and was released in 1911.
