This movie does depict the little Match Girl by Hans Christian Anderson beautifully. The special effects were wonderful for the time period. The little unnamed actress did such a beautiful job, silently miming her role of sadness and hope. When the girl lit a match she would see something she wished for, like a hot fire to warm her from the snowy street, a hot feast with the turkey floating towards her, a Christmas tree all lit up(the story takes place around the holiday season) and finally she see her grandmother in the light of the last match she lights. At the end she goes up to heaven to join her grandmother and is found frozen to death by a policeman with a smile on her face. This movie is just lovely. I can't say that enough. I would love if anyone could tell me the name of the actress who played the girl. I haven't been able to find out.
