A Holiday Gift From Thomas Alva Edison

When A CHRISTMAS ACCIDENT causes a mean old man to enter the wrong home, he is taught the true meaning of the Yuletide Spirit...

This very old film, from the Edison Studios, is a charming surprise. Short and to the point, it is competently produced & effectively acted. Best of all, the Holiday sentiment is both tender & affecting. The awakening power of the movies is seen in embryo here.

Al Kryszak provided the score for the video compilation A Christmas Past, in which this film appears.
