More about Not Guilty
Sold by Georges Méliès's Star Film Company as numbers 1301–1309. The French title is Anaïc ou le Balafré. A Centre national du cinéma guide argues the director was probably Manuel, an actor on Méliès's staff, not Méliès himself. The copy reviewed for that guide had the scenes out of story order.
