| The Little Match Girl (1954) |
| This version of the heartbreaking Anderson "fairy Tale" is perhaps viewed best with the sound off and your favorite Christmas Carols playing. It has mostly been seen by Americans as a silent from Castle Films, an 8mm home movie company. What's great about this is the black and white spookiness it shares with some of these other obscure Christmas items (Hardrock, Coco and Joe being the ultimate example) that convey a bleak sense of Christmas sadness (Santa is added to the tale) that is both heartwarming and a little troubling. |
