Henry EdwardsScrooge (1935)

Seymour Hicks plays the title role in the first sound version of the Dickens classic about the miser who's visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve. This British import is notable for being the only adaptation of this story with an invisible Marley's Ghost and its Expressionistic cinematography. This is the uncut 78 minute version.

Subject: An excellent version of the classic story
An excellent adaptation of the book and very similar to the classic Barrymore version. Missing in this version - and this is giving away part of the ending - is the Christmas meal scene at the Cratchet home. However, the ending to this version more than makes up for it; an slight twist on what you know fromt he Barrymore version. Considering when it was made, it's a film of the highest calibre and should be on everyone's Christmas viewing.

Subject: In agreement, the best Scrooge
I have seen all of the Scrooge movies or so I thought, until I came across this one. I agree with the other reviewer, this is the best one I've seen ever. No extravagant sound or special effects to wow the senses just good drama with a happy and realistic ending. It shows that a hardened heart can be changed even in old age. Thank you.

Subject: The best Scrooge I've seen on screen
The acting is kind of old-school melodramatic, but that's just the times. There's no attempt to explain away Scrooge's loathesomeness with bad experiences in his youth or any of that folderol; he's just vile. And Tiny Tim, while well-played, isn't milked for his cuteness. The whole focus is on the sin-and-redemption theme that the book centered around. This is the best adaptation of the iconic tale I've seen yet, and the more so for not being too far adapted.
