Featured review
Whenever pretty girls appear in a Georges Méliès film, you figure sooner or later they'll start dancing!
When this Georges Méliès story begins, the very hairy ballet master is busy trying to work out some routine while his maid makes his bed. He reluctantly goes to sleep and soon begins dreaming about dancers. Some women appear on his bed and soon start dancing about the room. Then, for no discernible reason, the setting switches to a cave and more dancing follows. Finally, he awakens and finds it was all a dream.
This is an okay Georges Méliès film. I say okay because women dancing about is one of the filmmaker's most common plot devices. At least in "The Ballet Master's Dream" they actually have a reason to be dancing! Most of the time when women appeared in his film, they danced and danced for no apparent reason other than he liked dancing girls!
