The Venetian Looking-Glass ( French: Le Miroir de Venise) was a 1905 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. [1]
The main character, consistently spelled "Schylock" in Méliès's materials, was inspired by Shylock from William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. [2] Shakespeare-on-film scholar Judith Buchanan concludes that the film was "probably only mildly Shakespearean." [3]
The film was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 699–701 in its catalogues, where it was advertised as une mésaventure de Schylock ("a misadventure of Shylock"). [2] It is currently presumed lost. [1]
