* Retro Movie Club Special A Christmas Carol (1910) Silent, Short, Holiday Charles Dickens Movie DVD 11 min. | Silent, Short, Holiday | 23 December 1910 (USA) Based on the story by Charles Dickens: Ebenezer Scrooge is well known for his harsh, miserly ways, until he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, and then by three other spirits. This DVD of the 1910 Silent, Short, Family movie A Christmas Carol has been digitally re-mastered to maintain the original retro/classic scratched look and feel of the original movie that was so common at the time of its creation. Directors: J. Searle Dawley, Charles Kent Writer: Charles Dickens Stars: Marc McDermott, Charles Ogle, William Bechtel The story begins in the office of Scrooge, described as "a wrenching, squeezing, grasping, covetous old sinner." He is visited by the charity workers who want him to contribute to the Christmas funds for the poor. He shows them the door and then declines an invitation from his nephew and the latter's Christmas wishes, because the spirit of Christmas is not with him. After finishing his Christmas Eve's work by scolding his poor humble clerk, Bob Cratchit, he sends him home. At the door we see the knocker change visibly before his eyes to the face of his former partner, Marley, long since dead, and during the night he is visited by Marley who introduces him anew to the long forgotten Spirit of Christmas. The Spirit shows him in successive visions his happy childhood days when he was young and free, the breaking of his engagement to the woman who later marries happily, and then shifting to the present Christmas, shows him Bob Cratchit's humble family enjoying their Christmas dinner.
