Christmas Eve
A heart-tugging moral melodrama with echoes of Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
Drama 1915 17 mins Silent
Overview
This moral tale of temptation, desperation and childish devotion has echoes of Dickens' classic fable A Christmas Carol. A lowly office worker of slender means is unable to buy his invalid wife the "good food and good wine" she requires. Incensed by the Scrooge-like manner of his boss, Charles is at the brink of despair. The suitably soppy ending is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit.
