Production and release
The film features a performance of the popular British music hall song Waiting at the Church by Vesta Victoria.[2] Film historian Charles Musser notes that Waiting at the Church was Edison's lowest-selling film of the year, at 52 copies, compared to Dream of a Rarebit Fiend, which sold 192.[3]
The action in the film follows the lyrics of the song. Porter made another film to accompany the song for the Novelty Song Film Co. in 1907. That version focuses more on the singer's performance.[4]
