This disc contains two early versions of the timeless Charles Dickens masterpiece, both of which will delight fans of silent film looking for a little holiday cheer. "A Christmas Carol" (1923) was produced in the U.K. and stars Russell Thorndike, Nina Vanna, Jack Denton, and Forbes Dawson. But the real gem here is "Old Scrooge" (1926), another British film originally released in 1913 as just "Scrooge" starring Seymour Hicks as the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. Hicks would later reprise the role in 1935 for the first sound version of this quintessential Christmas tale.
