A Private Dinner (French: En cabinet particulier) was an 1897 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 127 in its catalogues.[1]
The film is one of a small group of risqué "mature subjects" (i.e. stag films) Méliès made around this time; others included Peeping Tom at the Seaside, A Hypnotist at Work, and After the Ball.[2] A Private Dinner is currently presumed lost.[1]
