The 1910 version of A Christmas Carol is only 13 minutes long. It simplifies Charles Dickens's story to its essence. It also only gives us one spirit to guide us through Ebenezer Scrooge's past, present, and future. However, while the visual effects are impressive for the time, the weak link in this short film is Marc McDermott. His performance as Scrooge is fairly wooden and didn't convey the emotions I expected him to. This movie does, however, give us some nice resolution at the end, while the 1901 version did not. So this feels more complete than that earlier version, but I may like that one more.
