"A Christmas Carol" (1923) - Part 1



"A Christmas Carol" (1923)
Director: Edwin Greenwood
Scrooge: Russell Thorndike

This British production runs about 27 minutes, so it doesn't have a ton of time to tell the story. So, what's always of interest to me is what they did with the time allotted and what visual effects are used.

Take a look and see what you think:
