"The Bachelor's Paradise" ("Chez la Sorcière") is a cute little film from French director Georges Méliès. And. like the vast majority of his films, it lasts less than two minutes...pretty much the norm in the earliest days of the cinema.
It begins at about 1800. A fashionably dressed gentleman asks the witch to conjure up a woman for him. She does so...making him fiver from her cauldron and giving him the choice. But the deal doesn't go as the man expects and he ends up making a jackass out of himself.
This is funny and cute...and actually made me chuckle. Well worth seeing and clever.
