Un malheur n'arrive jamais seul, sold in the United States as Misfortune Never Comes Alone and in Britain as Accidents Never Happen Singly, is a 1903 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 451–452 in its catalogues.[1]
Méliès plays the lamplighter in the film,[2] which was made in the winter of 1902–03.[1] The advertising column seen in the film includes two ads for Méliès himself, and one for Menier Chocolate. The film's special effects are created with substitution splices.[2]
