The Diabolical Church Window (French: Le Vitrail diabolique) is a 1911 French short silent 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]
