Contains the first nude scene in film history, though the actress is wearing a body stocking to simulate nudity.

Jehanne d'Alcy became the first person to appear nude in a film when she exposed her bare buttocks for a few seconds in this film. Coincidentally, she would later marry the film's director, Georges Méliès. But based on other reports, she wasn't actually nude because she was wearing a body stocking to simulate nudity.
The servant casts a last-second glance toward the camera as if to ask the director whether it's still rolling.
