The Four Troublesome Heads is the first and earliest short shown in a fifteen short compilation called Melies Magic Show on an Arte Video DVD called Melies the Magician. It's basically Georges taking off his head three times, putting two on the table to the right of him and one on the table to the left. He then sings with the three heads. The end. Hardly much today but must of charmed audiences back then since this was the first time split screen was used and three times no less! Melies would eventually become a pioneer of various special effects that he would use again and again to great acclaim throughout France and the world. It's him that we owe for bringing fantasy to motion pictures. So if you're a Melies fan who hasn't seen his earliest works, seek this one out by all means.
