\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThis is a 1928 version of Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Little Match Girl<\/a>,’ directed by French film great Jean Renoir<\/a> and Jean T\u00e9desco. The story is a simple one about the visions of a poor match girl as she freezes to death in the snow. It’s a loose adaptation that actually seems rather rigid and too involved with its sets and props to really give any feeling of the fantastic. It is also pro-forma in its pathos or portrayal of the match girl’s despair. Also, the leading actress, Catherine Hessling, is completely unappealing. Apparently, one of the toy soldiers was played by Lucia Joyce, the daughter of author James Joyce.<\/p>\n
