Editorial Review: Discount Shopping: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Christmas CarolIt took me awhile to warm up to this version of Scooge. I had always been partial to Alastair Sim whom I thought played the part to a T as a person who becomes transformed. Once I began to really sit down and take notice of Reginald Owen and the way certain things were different from the Alastair Sim version, I became intrigged of the real humor as the movie progressed.

Rating: - now only if it was in color now on dvd.A Christmas Carol by Reginald Owen, Gene Lockhart is of two versions that i love. the 1951 and this one. i have the 51 in color now on dvd i have this one on tape in color. now if i can just get this one COLORIZED on dvd. id be one happy camper. Rating: - EVEN BETTER! ! !The Christmas Carol is my all-time favorite movie. I owned every version imagionable on VHS, including this adaptation, but the remarkably enhanced quality of the DVD version is extremely enjoyable to watch. Rating: - 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! Browse for similar items by category:
