I just discovered this version today (November 24, 2023). It was delightful. I never tire of Scrooge, Charles Dickens “The Christmas Carol”. Love all versions.
My favorite version was with George Scott, 1983; but, I have seen the 1951 version and this is the first time I've seen the 1935 version. We have become so accustomed to special effects that this one seemed terribly lame; but, it was made 89 years ago. It's possible that when this movie was made there could be people alive then that were alive during Charles Dickens life. Mr. Dickens was a great story teller; but, he was an abusive and cruel husband.
I dearly love especially the ending of this one! He is truly full of so much lost joy and love! What a great lesson there is in this wonderful tale! Thank you for posting! It is Dec 27,2023 and today is the day (in 2017) that I had to make the most gut wrenching decision no human being should ever have to make… my husband of nearly 40 years lay in ICU from a terminal stroke and I promised him for a year that I would respect his DNR and release him from the machines…. I just couldn’t let him go on Christmas day, and waited all day the 26th for our grown children to try to be here to say their goodbyes. Which they were not able to do. I held his hand and kissed his face as he left me… a little after 3:15 pm. … I am just now getting to the place of not crying all day. Rest in wonderful Heaven with Jesus, Johnnie! Not a day goes by that my mind isn’t flooded with years of memories! Happiest joy and the best year ahead for everyone… love is the key!
@@JoeSmith-b9vPeople starved too. Children worked in toxic and dangerous conditions at the age of fourteen. I mean it happens today, but there are a lot stricter laws on it in the US and UK
@@joann1917 I think a story about recognizing the needs of the poor is perfectly in line with "wokeness." Dickens was a reformer for what is now called social justice, after all. His father went to a debtors' prison when Dickens was a boy.
@@tebelshaw9486 - Not a fan of the Scott version, though I really like the architecture they chose for the settings. HOWEVER, "A Muppet Christmas Carol" is considered by many critics to be among the best versions. TH-cam's Abby Cox, fashion historian, is very complimentary to the film's costume designers. They cut no corners in accuracy, not even in the Muppet costumes.
@@tebelshaw9486 I also love the Muppet version! Michael Caine as Scrooge. The songs for the film were written by Paul Williams, who wrote among other things the songs for DePalma's "Phantom of the Paradise".
This and the muppets are my favorite versions of this story. The way he tries to wipe away his name engraved in the tombstone gives me chills every time
I do agree in the 1951 version was a bit better mainly because they actually had the ghost of Jacob Marley in there versus in this one where they made him invisible. Of course it’s understandable because in 1935 they probably didn’t have the technology to make shadowy ghostly figures. So they should’ve just used a normal person Sometimes the characters talk a bit too fast too . Still I love the ghost of Christmas present in this movie and I also appreciate Seymour Hicks dedication to his role
I watch all versions every year. It just put me in such good spirits. With all that is going on we all could use good spirits. Hey just know that you are loved.
This is the FIRST year (December 2023) I discovered I could watch any of the old original versions HERE on TH-cam. I grew up watching them on black and white TV back in the "Dark Ages" (the 1950s and early 1960s). I'm 72 and I still watch every one I can find every year. I'm so happy I found this 1935 version, the oldest one of which I am aware.
It's hard to not like this version as one of the oldest original adaptations that survived to this day. The disembodied voices of the spirits, I feel, adds greatly to the atmosphere of the film, and deeply personalizes Ebenezer's interaction with them.
Greatest story ever. All the different versions have subtle differences in their story. This one is the only one I can recall that Mr. Scrooge goes with the boy to get the turkey. I like the simple things. Peace be with you and may your days be blessed. 420,stay thirsty my friends
I’m glad you enjoy Marijuana but read some scientific articles on how pot influences the brain. It’s not called “ getting stoned” incorrectly. Young people (
I noticed a few differences in this film myself. When Scrooge's past is shown, they leave out the part where his younger self is all alone at boarding school, until his sister, Fan, comes to see him and to tell him that she's bringing him home for good, adding that their father is "so much nicer now and home is like Heaven." (That line suggests that Scrooge's home life as a child was quite terrible and that his father was mean to him and Fan. Is it possible that they were both physically abused as well as mentally mistreated, or perhaps merely neglected? And why is there no mention of their mother? Did she die, or run off with another man?) Also, this version of the story omits Scrooge's days as a young adult when he was an apprentice in the counting house of the kindly Mr. Fezziwig, who, unlike OLD Scrooge, treated his employees quite well, and didn't mind celebrating Christmas by throwing annual holiday parties for them, as well as his wife, his three daughters, his friends, and the neighbors. In the novel and the other adaptations of the story, when Scrooge's girlfriend, Belle, breaks off their wedding engagement because of his greed and cold-heartedness, it's when they're sitting together in a living room, and not at his office, like in this movie. The part with the poor couple who can't pay back money that they owe Scrooge was added to the film by the producers.
@@michaelpalmieri7335 The reason for missing mother is mentioned in1951 version: father is mean to Ebenezer because he blames him for the death of his mother (died in childbirth), just as he is mean to his nephew for a similar reason.
I love them all as well and to think this story was written 179 years ago. I especially love Albert Finney's Scrooge portrayal in a musical version. If you haven't seen it don't be turned off by the idea of Scrooge singing. His singing is highly emotional and will make you cry, especially towards the end.
@@readbetweenthelineslll1635 I love the early work of both those guys but I think the total effect of their popularity has been quite damaging in its course.
I love these old B&W films for me they are the best.In these older movies we will find faces and characters that, like the Buffalo, they have vanished from the scene
I used to think this flicker was meant for Christmas,but it spins a tale of giving,,a state of mind,good any time or season. I for one am glad to see that so much of "Charles Dickens" was save on these older B&W flicks.
Adoro questo film😍 mi riporta a quando festeggiamo la sera della vigilia di Natale a casa della nonna, mi ricordo un grande albero vicino alla finestra e la tavola imbandita piena di cose buonissime 😊 mi ricordo quando facevo nascondere mio fratello e mio cugino per aspettare i regali, dopo il dolce mi ricordo che giocavamo a tombola ridavamo allegramente, adesso la facciamo a casa mia e mi piace lo stesso ❤😊 Mi ricordo che una vigilia la nonna aveva un cerchietto natalizio buffissimo 😂 , mi piaceva far nascondere mio fratello e mio cugino e dopo fargli trovare i regali perché erano felicissimi 😊, alla fine della serata capitava che mi sedevo sul divano per la stanchezza ma felice! Mi ricordo che iniziavano i film all' ora precisa, io mi guardavo questo film😊 quanti bellissimi ricordi!😊❤❤ Dio ci benedica tutti!
This is my favorite of all the versions filmed, and I have read that it was truest to the book. This was a signature role for Seymour Hicks the same way that the King of Siam was for Yul Brynner and Te;yve (Fiddler on the Roof) was for Topol. It is also the only one where Marley could not be seen. To me, that just added to the atmosphere of the story and we were seeing it as Scrooge was. I have also read and agree that Donald Calthrop was the best Crachitt ever. Thanks so much for uploading this marvelous film.
Without a doubt, this old version, tho showing less of the Three Ghosts, emphasizes with much detail, the redemption of the Ebeneezer of old into he of the new! In it, Seymour Hicks was just superb! : | :
I am very thrilled exploring this Christmas as many versions of Scrooge/A Christmas Carol as I can find. There must be dozens of versions from the silent era I didn't know existed. I've found out that Seymour Hicks played Ebenezer Scrooge in a 1913 silent film, two decades before he played the character again in this 1935 edition. Versions we will never find on the main tube.
@@tebelshaw9486 - Many film critics agree that "A Muppet Christmas Carol" is one of the best versions, as do I. If you are interested, Abby Cox, one of TH-cam's fashion historians, analyzes the film.
@@tebelshaw9486 No. I've read Mr. Dickens' novel, and it clearly says that Scrooge only had one business partner, Jacob Marley. Not once in the book, or in any of the other film, radio, TV, and stage versions of it, was there any mention of Marley having a brother (or any other relatives either). In fact, in the opening line of the "Christmas Carol" book, it says "Marley was dead to begin with." Not "The Marleys," or "the Marley brothers," just plain "Marley," singular, not plural. The "Marley brothers" were simply invented by the producers of the "Muppet Christmas Carol," so they would have a reason (or excuse, depending on your point of view) for having the parts played by Statler and Waldorf, the two obnoxious elderly muppets who often heckled Fozzie Bear on "The Muppet Show."
In my humble opinion, this is incomparably the greatest film version of A Christmas Carol. It has a palpable pathos far more affecting than any other version. Although I love Lionel Barrymore's radio Scrooge too, you can't top the impact of Hicks's brilliant transformation, nor duplicate the film's pitifully tatty, threadbare settings that so authentically evoke the Dickensian view of 19th century poverty in London.
See the joy, hope, and optimism reflected in the culture of that day. This was a country whose laws, customs, and social mores and traditions were still informed by a Biblical perspective. If you wish to understand what has gone wrong since then, there is where we need to look and inquire.
I never understood why my mom watched this every Christmas. I finally decided to watch it until the end and now it's on my list with it's a wonderful life❤❤
This version has been my favorite for many many years. I also like Mr Magoo's Scrooge and some TV shows like the Odd Couple and Sanford and son, very intelligently funny. Merry Christmas!!!🎁
La storia di Scrooge è meravigliosa Purtroppo al giorno d'oggi i personaggi come lui prima di redimersi sono sono moltissimi, ma non cambiano come lui, tardi ma lui lo ha capito. Questa storia mi commuove sempre. Grande Charles Dickens.
Sir Seymour Hicks had played the role on stage since 1901, and starred in a silent version in 1913. Made on a small budget, and the ghosts are for you to imagine. Paramount originally released it in the US (the "Adolph Zukor Presents" on the lobby card), and led to the various American and British versions of the story, starting with MGM's in 1938.
Hicks' impersonation is the most curmudgeonly and nasty Scrooge of them all - glorious! INDEED! Head-well the words of partner Marley and the visitor spirits, and profit mightily thereby! Soon, another Christmas is to be upon us for a learning of the lesson. Are we to, or no? . : .
This is my favorite version of this classic story. Thanks for posting it. Feliz Navidad , prospero ano Nuevo y buen dia Tres Reyes. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a good three Kings Day (Epiphany, January 6th) to all. God bless us, everyone.
It is almost February and already i miss the Holiday season. Wishing good tidings to everyone even strangers.... I love the holidays and they seemed especially poignant during these 'Pandemic' years. To everyone who passes by here...'Happy Holidays all the year round!' 'Cheers!'
☀🎁🌲🍂🍂 ☀Merry Christmas all Domestic, Wild including, Earth's lives. 🎁Happiest of Holidays. 🌲This is one of my favorite, traditional, Christmas movies. 🍂Heavenly Heavens bless all lives.
Thank you for posting this . I have seen every other version and have never seen this one. My favorite is the Alister Simms version, however the Mickey Mouse and Mr Magoo were my first versions and will always hold a special place in my memory of this Dickens work.
2nd only to the Alistair Sim version. Captures the atmosphere, dreary, sqallor & cold conditions of winter without central heat or electricity. Most authentic costumes, excellent selection of actors.
Alastair Sim & his fellow cast stood on this version 's & Seymour Hicks' shoulders and shall always stand unequalled by others till the Kingdom of HIM Who Christmas is all about come.
15 de diciembre de 2024 viendo esta hermosa película y asombrada del año en que se filmó 1935 wooww... Gracias por subirla para deleitarnos de ella. Saludos a todos!!! ❤
The moral of the story, that people can be kind and helpful to each other if only they would try, transcends Christianity and even theism altogether. it does not take religion to love the humanity in our fellow Earthlings. Suffering is always terrible; relieving some of it is always uplifting.
🎄🙋..Gosh, I guess I truly am a hopeless sentimentalist..(sighh..),..dunno what it is, but I just LOOVE these OLD Moovees..NOT thee "silent ones", but, 30's, 40's, Ohh yah.., THATS my bag..!! ❤✌️😉~Peace, Kyl.. P.S., That's Claude Rains, as Jacob Marley !!! Haa Haa !!🎉
@@tebelshaw9486 Could have been the 51 version ,but Gene Lockhart isn't listed in the credits. I double checked it. I must have seen one of the other ones. However, Cratchit does look like Gene Lockhart in the 51 version. No, it's the 1938 version that has the whole Lockhart family in it. My mistake. Just read the credits. Still the 51version is the best.
i truly say "thank you" for bringing this very deep and emotional version of a story that time truly cannot erase due to the great spirit of christmas!
It’s wonderful to look back and see what an innocent world we lived in when I grew up. At least it felt like a more innocent time, then these turbulent times of 2024. God bless us one and all.
True retelling of classic story, although music drowns out dramatic scenes?! Probably because silent films were coming to an end and the director and actors had not fully made the transition to 'the talkies'. Good film for the era. Good actors, also. True stars🤩
The "Book" was published 110 years before I was born! And I'm now in my 70's!!!
Such an incredible Classic!
I still like this movie.
This version was made the same year my Mom was born. Miss both the folks so much, especially at the holidays.
Alastair Sim in my estimation owned this role but this is an interesting document

Such a decent person you are to respect his wishes. I pray his spirit is always with you. Peace and a Blessed Christmas.
May every day get easier for you & find the happiness in your life again.
This is my favorite Scrooge movie. Life was so simple and more normal back then.

what are you nuts? That era was a nightmare!
@kozy15x People were more normal back then.
They were still messed up they just hid it from society

I never understood why my mom watched this every Christmas. I finally decided to watch it until the end and now it's on my list with it's a wonderful life❤❤
This version has been my favorite for many many years. I also like Mr Magoo's Scrooge and some TV shows like the Odd Couple and Sanford and son, very intelligently funny. Merry Christmas!!!🎁
Oh my! I don't recall ever seeing this classic version! Thank you for posting it here on TH-cam!
My favourite Christmas reading and love watching the old films of Scrooge movies🎄Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays❄️
La storia di Scrooge è meravigliosa
Purtroppo al giorno d'oggi i personaggi come lui prima di redimersi sono sono moltissimi, ma non cambiano come lui, tardi ma lui lo ha capito.
Questa storia mi commuove sempre.
Grande Charles Dickens.
Sir Seymour Hicks had played the role on stage since 1901, and starred in a silent version in 1913. Made on a small budget, and the ghosts are for you to imagine. Paramount originally released it in the US (the "Adolph Zukor Presents" on the lobby card), and led to the various American and British versions of the story, starting with MGM's in 1938.
This is my favorite version.
Really wonderful.
Hicks' impersonation is the most curmudgeonly and nasty Scrooge of them all - glorious!
INDEED!
Head-well the words of partner Marley and the visitor spirits, and profit mightily thereby! Soon, another Christmas is to be upon us for a learning of the lesson. Are we to, or no?
. : .
Very fast paced, in comparison to other versions. I am glad I had this chance to watch this one.
This is my favorite version of this classic story. Thanks for posting it. Feliz Navidad , prospero ano Nuevo y buen dia Tres Reyes. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a good three Kings Day (Epiphany, January 6th) to all. God bless us, everyone.
I love watching any version of Scrooge.
i just watch the ending of this story...it's so uplifting
I watch this classic all the time in every season
Love seeing this every year.
It is almost February and already i miss the Holiday season. Wishing good tidings to everyone even strangers.... I love the holidays and they seemed especially poignant during these 'Pandemic' years. To everyone who passes by here...'Happy Holidays all the year round!' 'Cheers!'
You’re lovely.

Scrooge was spot on. Why should he contribute to many idle people. This film is an underrated classic.
I like watching all of the Versions of this ckassic story.
Thank you for posting this . I have seen every other version and have never seen this one. My favorite is the Alister Simms version, however the Mickey Mouse and Mr Magoo were my first versions and will always hold a special place in my memory of this Dickens work.
Was wondering if anyone else remembered Mr Magoo! 💟
I also enjoy Bill Murray's 'Sctrooged' ... a modern corporate version.
Yes, we always watched the Alistair Simms version. It was the one my mother grew up with, so it is Christmas to me.
2nd only to the Alistair Sim version. Captures the atmosphere, dreary, sqallor & cold conditions of winter without central heat or electricity. Most authentic costumes, excellent selection of actors.
Most Excellent! Thank you for sharing.
So wonderful...I loved this so much. Thank you for sharing it with us 😊 happy Christmas to you!
I love everything about this one

Best Scrooge ever
Alastair Sim & his fellow cast stood on this version 's & Seymour Hicks' shoulders and shall always stand unequalled by others till the Kingdom of HIM Who Christmas is all about come.
Watch it every year. Thank you.

Me too

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄 🎀🎅
15 de diciembre de 2024 viendo esta hermosa película y asombrada del año en que se filmó 1935 wooww... Gracias por subirla para deleitarnos de ella. Saludos a todos!!! ❤
l have watched the even before Thanksgiving and l love them all.
I feel for old Cratchet since I grew up in a house without central heat. After I was grown, I moved to Texas. It is warm here.
The moral of the story, that people can be kind and helpful to each other if only they would try, transcends Christianity and even theism altogether. it does not take religion to love the humanity in our fellow Earthlings. Suffering is always terrible; relieving some of it is always uplifting.
🎄🙋..Gosh, I guess I truly am a hopeless sentimentalist..(sighh..),..dunno what it is, but I just LOOVE these OLD Moovees..NOT thee "silent ones", but, 30's, 40's, Ohh yah.., THATS my bag..!! ❤✌️😉~Peace, Kyl..
P.S., That's Claude Rains, as Jacob Marley !!! Haa Haa !!🎉
There is another version from 1938 I have on DVD with Reginald Owen as Scrooge. This was quite good from 1935.
Probably the most sanguine adaptation. Very Hollywoodized 🎬
I just finished that one with the whole Lockhart family in it!
@@wesleycook7687 Yes, and his wife and daughter played his wife and daughter! Merry Christmas! 🎄
@@tebelshaw9486 Could have been the 51 version ,but Gene Lockhart isn't listed in the credits. I double checked it. I must have seen one of the other ones. However, Cratchit does look like Gene Lockhart in the 51 version. No, it's the 1938 version that has the whole Lockhart family in it. My mistake. Just read the credits. Still the 51version is the best.
@@wesleycook7687 Right. 1938 was the version mentioned in the original comment. GOD bless us everyone!
As watch this nov 29 2024. The film is 89 years old. What a great version of A Christmas Carol.
One of the best versions if you are paying attention. Eat your heart out George C Scott and Alistair Sims.
Even the dog barked at Scrooge! 🤣

I,intend to have, the next five day,s of different Scrooge movies finishing,with Alister SIM ,thank you so much ,19/12/16.😂😀😊
It's very beautiful. Like the 1910 version.
Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄
i truly say "thank you" for bringing this very deep and emotional version of a story that time truly cannot erase due to the great spirit of christmas!
My Favorite 🎄
It’s wonderful to look back and see what an innocent world we lived in when I grew up. At least it felt like a more innocent time, then these turbulent times of 2024. God bless us one and all.
very nice, thanks for posting this. luv, stacie and judith.
Thank you! That was absolutely delightful. I had not seen this before. My classic favorite is the 1951 Alistair Sim Scrooge.
Though the Alastair Sim's version will always be my favorite, this one is good as well!

True retelling of classic story, although music drowns out dramatic scenes?! Probably because silent films were coming to an end and the director and actors had not fully made the transition to 'the talkies'. Good film for the era. Good actors, also. True stars🤩
There is an Oliver Twist with composition by Arnold Bax
