Méliès appears in the film as the hydrotherapist. Photographic evidence suggests that the film was a new version of an unidentified Méliès film from around 1900, for which two stills survive at the Cinémathèque Française.[1] The bathtub prop was reused from Méliès's 1907 film Rogues' Tricks; special effects in the film were worked with substitution splices, stage machinery, and pyrotechnics.[2]
