A Christmas Carol Trailer

[RockyBalboa211]

I like old scrooge. It's nice to see a miser change so magnificently in one night.

To bad Lionel Barrymore wasn't able to play Scrooge. I would have loved to seen Ronald Colman do a movie version.

im sorry but Reginald Owen looks a little too old. scrooge is supposed to be somewhere in his late 50's or early 60's isn't he? Owen looks like hes 70 or 80. i haven't seen this version but i do plan on watching it since i am a big fan of the book and the movies.

Thank you very much for uploading this, I love Reginald Owen as Scrooge but I do like Lionel Barrymore as well. This is a great trailer. Although Barrymore is American, there is something of a Dickensian flavour to it.

This is my favorite version of Scrooge, but I have never seen the trailer before... Very cool!

Barrymore's heart must have been breaking inside while making this preview. His annual live radio broadcasts as Scrooge were legendary. MGM was actually making this 1938 version for him; however, by this time he was completely confined to a wheelchair and it cost him the part. When Frank Capra was casting "It's a Wonderful Life," Lionel Barrymore was his first choice for Potter so people could see something of the Scrooge that Barrymore never got to play on-screen.

Funny.

I'm 50 and i have never seen this version in the UK.

I know! I always see it around the holidays as well. Right after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, I watch Miracle on 34th Street. My great grandfather plays the judge in that.

The 1938 version of "A Christmas Carol" is our favorite, and I remember when CBS-TV channel 2 in the NYC metro area would show it three straight times after midnight on Christmas eve...

Gene and Kathleen Lockhart are my great-grandparents! My grandmother plays Belinda in the movie with her parents and it was her film screen debut. Thanks so much for posting this! We loved it!

[esschrader]

So glad you enjoyed it! My family starts watching Thanksgiving Night and we finally put it away for the year after Christmas Day. It really is a standard!

Thank you for posting. A Christmas Carol is my favorite! It's cool to see "Mr. Potter" do the intro.
