A Christmas Jewel From Edwin S. Porter & Thomas Alva Edison, 3 January 2002
10/10
Author: Ron Oliver (revilorest@juno.com) from Forest Ranch, CA

'Twas THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...

The wonderful old poem by Clement C. Moore comes to life in this little silent film. Looking like a Victorian Christmas card, it has all the charm of a bygone era. The special effects, especially the scenic diorama used for St. Nicholas' ride, are quite effective.

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