Product Description

Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply. Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without the film classic, Scrooge, starring legendary British stage star Sir Seymour Hicks as the famous penny-pincher who cares for nothing except money until he is visited by spirits who teach him the true meaning of the season. Don't be a humbug. Pop in this must-have DVD and let the Christmas spirit take hold.

This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

This British production of Dickens's Christmas Carol has been eclipsed by subsequent versions, but it stands on its own as a darkly atmospheric (if sometimes regrettably brisk) telling of the beloved tale. Hicks had played Scrooge many times on stage (and before in silent film), and he gets the tenor of every "Humbug!" just right. --Robert Horton Even with the rough quality of existing prints, this Scrooge has a visual intensity that approaches the bold compositions of German expressionism. As a bandy-legged Bob Cratchit, Donald Calthorp is a perfect Victorian illustration come to grinning life. And in its central role it has a mostly forgotten star: Sir Seymour Hicks, one of the era's celebrated English stage actors. With his gnarled face and flyaway hair, Hicks looks every inch the mean old misanthrope, and his cruelty has a realistic quality missing in some of the more stylized interpreters of the role.
