Un prêté pour un rendu (une bonne farce avec ma tête), sold in the United States as Tit for Tat, or a Good Joke With My Head and in Britain as "Tit for Tat"—The head in a case, is a 1904 French silent trick film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 540–541 in its catalogues.[1]
Méliès plays the magician in the film, one of several in his oeuvre involving multiplied heads. The special effects are created with substitution splices and multiple exposures.[2]
A paper print of the film survives at the Library of Congress.[3]
