Georges Méliès stars once again as a magician and in this case he makes his female assistant appear in a picture frame. Then, using a bit of camera trickery again, makes her pop off the paper...and she's normal once again.
"Le Portrait Spirituel" is a familiar looking short from Georges Méliès. I say familiar because many of his other shorts use the same sorts of slow dissolves and stop motion...as well as the picture frame device. Nothing new here at all, but reasonably well made. My only complaint is that the picture within the frame wasn't done particularly well...and there are gaps which make it look a bit sad.
