Wikipedia article




'Bob Kick, the Mischievous Kid' is a 1903 French short silent film by Georges Mlis. It was sold by Mlis's Star Film Company and is numbered 510511 in its catalogues.

Mlis plays Bob Kick in the film, which uses pyrotechnics, substitution splices, and multiple exposures to create its special effects. The film is one of several of Mlis's trick films in which magical effects are used to suggest a theme of illusive female beauty.

Two identical paper prints of the film, representing the film's American and French releases, survive at the Library of Congress. Variant versions of the film may exist; in a 1981 guide to Mlis's films, published by the Centre national de la cinmatographie, the editors reported that the ending they saw differed from the one summarized by John Frazer in his 1979 book 'Artificially Arranged Scenes: The Films of Georges Mlis'.
