This movie has been made so many times, so it’s not surprising that people don’t turn to this particular version, and instead go to one of the more mainstream ones. I usually do the same, but my grandma has been looking for this movie for years and it finally showed up on…
Ryan DanielDec 5, 2020I've seen like ten different versions of A Christmas Carol and I still don't know what Scrooge's job actually is.
Ben CrewNov 24, 2020The way the entire Cratchit family molests that poor goose with their hands and eyes is a sight to behold. The Ghost of Christmas Future has nothing on this clan. If you queue Christmas Carol up for the holidays (and you should) watch this scene in slow-mo and prepare to…

What a fun version of "A Christmas Carol"! Especially from what Bob Cratchet does to his boss Ebenezer Scrooge! That was great! Loved the whole Cratchet family. It's nice to see them all jolly and happy and not so gloom as to how we are used to seeing the…

I know you're here to do me good, and as I hope to be another man from what I was, I'm ready to accompany you. When something is so representative of an idea or feeling, so elemental to an expression, it has to be respected-- loved even, and I love this movie. A Christmas…
Andy SwitchDec 11, 2024I've watched this so many times, I try to replace Reginald Owen with arthritic-at-the-time, multiple-hip-fracture Lionel Barrymore (the TCM host mentioned Barrymore absolutely loved to perform as Scrooge besides film; it's too bad he never got his chance) and just cannot…
Scarecrow88Dec 8, 2021I feel like Edwin L. Marin’s adaption of A CHRISTMAS CAROL captures the essence and emotion the best in a way that I’m sure Dickens had first intended. This movie has been adapted an infinite amount of times, it’s hard to keep track. But at a brisk 69 mins, this film…

This is padded a bit but still faithful and entertaining. [11 Dec 1992, p.AE15]
