A Christmas Carol
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 Review: A Classic Christmas Tale
It's a great film adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Shot in black & white, it adds to the drama of watching it just once a year. In my opinion, better than a lot of the others out there but this could just be because I grew up watching this version so I may be partial because this was always part of our Christmas tradition.
Customer Review: Best Christmas Spirit
My husband always wanted to watch this Christmas Story, but we could never find it. I finally found it on Amazon and it really is the best one. It is in black and white, but I thought it was really wonderful inspite of that! We loved it and it helped to make our Christmas just a little but better!
