A Novice at X-Rays ( French: Les Rayons X; Les Rayons Roentgen) was an 1898 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 142 in its catalogues. [1]
It may have been inspired by The X-Rays, an 1897 British film by the pioneering showman G. A. Smith, which in turn was likely partly inspired by previous films by Méliès. [2] A Novice at X-Rays is currently presumed lost. [1]
