Seymour Hicks stars in this 1913 version of Scrooge, based on Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Hicks would play the part again in the better-known sound version from 1935. This 1913 silent version was released in America in 1926 under the title "Old Scrooge" and that is the version here. The video is mute.

A precious masterpiece! Never seen it but great to have now done so! Amazing to think - 110 years old!

I saw this once, many years ago, & have been searching for it since. I watch several versions of the story every year on KZfaq, yet this is the very first time this has popped up on my feed. Thank you so much for this- I enjoyed it greatly. I had some instrumental Christmas carols playing quietly in the background to set the mood. Wonderful!!

For its time very good, especially the ghost effects.

Same here. And I'm taking a course on this book from Hillsdale College right now. Comparing all of the movies I can find to what the book actually reads. Most of them are good. I give a lot of slack to cinematic license

Now, all we need to do is to petition Jacqueline Stewart of Silent Sunday Night on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) to include it in the lineup for next Christmas.

I see a lot has changed since the 1908 version. It's way longer. I am gonna have to grab this from you and add pre 1913 wax cylinder music to it.

Thanks. Only vaguely like the classic and crunched for time, but I suppose the special effects in 1913 would have wowed the audience. A merry Christmas to you!

@neclark08 7 ай бұрын

...there is an impressive 1910 version -- also Silent -- made by Thomas Edison's motion picture 'division'

@user-wi6sh6vh8u 7 ай бұрын

And hopefully both that one as well as this one will be aired as part of the Silent Sunday Night lineup for next Christmas on TCM (Turner Classic Movies), if only we can get a petition through to Jacqueline Stewart in time.

I grew-up where we had not snow to make snow- men. But we had plenty of tumble-weeds. But they just didn't hold together as well as snow did ! ☃️
