This 1938 MGM version of the Dickens classic is not the most rewarding of the various adaptations (that honor goes to Biran Desmond Hurst's 1951 film, starring Alistair Sim), but it has a strong if narrow performance by Reginald Owen as the miser Ebenezer Scrooge. Directed by Edward L. Marin, the movie is stiffer and less imaginative than it ought to be, but there are some compensations in the supporting cast, including Leo G. Carroll, and the film debut of little June Lockhart. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews for A Christmas Carol

By far the best!
This version of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" might be a little shorter than the others,it is a little more lighthearted. As far as
characters go Scrooge,Bob Cratchit,and of course Tiny Tim, I prefer these actors out of any of the rest.This is by far the best of them all!A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol
I never watched a Christmas Carol that I did not like, the old ones are very fun.A Christmas Carol

Great Classic
Scrooge has always been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl. My mom would always read the story to us and then when we got to watch it on TV ... WOW.... This version is the one I love the best. I like how Scrooge has a round face. The other scrooges are either too tall and thin. Thanks Amazon for having the one I liked!A Christmas Carol

Christmas isn't Christmas without this version!
All we seen broadcast this past Christmas was a pathetic George C. Scott version.... Oh Brother.... Christmas wasn't Christmas until I got this DVD!!!A Christmas Carol

A Timeless Christmas Classic
A Christmas Carol
A Timeless Christmas Story of a an old stingy employer who finds Christmas and its meaning when visited by The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. These visits change him to a benevolent person who becomes what Christmas is all about - caring, giving, and kindness to your fellow man.
There are more than one version of this story, but this one is equal to the rest. I like Tiny Tim in this version the best.
No Christmas collection of movies should lack this one.A Christmas Carol
