December Child.


Does anybody know the name of the film used in the Cyndi Lauper song December Child? I understand it is from 1902. The film fits the song perfectly. It can be viewed on YouTube.

No as the film is from 1902 and I thought I would have more luck here. But now that you mention it, perhaps I should try there as well. Just wondered if it was an Edison film. I suspect it is not a Biograph, but being from as far back as 1902 makes it hard to tell. Then again, it could be from any of the many small film companies from that time.

I just checked it out on Youtube and it is clearly a film adaptation of The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen.

Knowing this it is easy to identify it as The Little Match Seller (1902) directed by James Williamson.
