The Human Fly (French: L'Homme-Mouche) is a 1902 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 415–416 in its catalogues.[1]
Méliès himself plays the Russian dancer. This film is probably the first time Méliès used a vertical vantage point, pointing his camera directly toward the floor; two other technical effects, the substitution splice and the multiple exposure, completed the illusion.[2]
