Am currently "working my way through the list" and watching as many versions of "The Christmas Carol" as I can locate. Imagine my joy upon finding not only the 1910 Edison version BUT the 1901 production as well.
The special effects are pretty impressive. One shot is actually three in one .. current, ghost and death scene all super-imposed.
Despite the shortness of the film, they include Fezziwig's party, Ebinezer's sister and the Cratchits. Not all of the later versions did this.
Look for it. It's on-line.
