The Frozen Policeman[1] (French: L'Agent gelé) is a 1908 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. No Star Film Company catalogue number is known for it.[2]
The film is rare among Méliès's fiction films in using location shooting of real outdoor landscapes rather than painted scenery.[3] Some of the Méliès family property in Montreuil-sous-Bois can be seen in it, including outside views of Méliès's parents' house and his first glass studio, Studio A.[4]
No English-language release is documented for the film,[2] but the translated title The Frozen Policeman has been used in academic work.[1]
