The Diabolical Church Window (French: Le Vitrail diabolique) is a 1911 French shortsilent film by Georges Méliès. It was numbered 1548–1556 for the catalogues of Méliès's Star Film Company,[1] but it was ultimately produced and distributed by Pathé Frères,[2] who advertised it as with the subtitle magie vénitienne (Venetian magic).[1]
Méliès's daughter, Georgette Méliès, is believed to have been one of the two camera operators for this and the other five Méliès films made in 1911–1912.[3] Only a seven-minute portion of the film is currently known to survive; the rest is presumed lost.[4]
