Scrooge (1935) DICKENS CHRISTMAS CLASSIC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 гру 2013
- Stars: Seymour Hicks, Donald Calthrop, Robert Cochran
Director: Henry Edwards
Writers: Charles Dickens (novel)
This wonderful adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" would have made Charles Dickens proud. The film is notable not only for its superb performances, but also for the setting and costumes which utterly capture 1843 London. The impressive moving-camera photography and atmospheric lighting are reminiscent of German expressionist cinema. Sir Seymour Hicks, as Scrooge, delivers a first-class performance; and he also co-authored the screenplay. - Фільми й анімація

Me too.

Me as well! Love all versions of this timeless classic
The 1951 version with Alastair Sim is still hands down my favorite. ❤️
Mr. Magoo is a close second.
The one with George C. Scott is really good too!
Alastair Sims did a 1971 animation version which won an Oscar although I do believe it's the 1951 version set in cartoon soundtrack is identical to the 1951 Christmas Carol
the muppets one is pretty awesome too. i like this one because it was the first. but cant argue with alistair sims version its amazing.
@@ann6466 I've watched them all more than once and George C Scott's version is the best, In my opinion.
@@Ourladyrules It;s our tradtion to watch the Muppets version with Michael Caine every Xmas eve. I have the DVD where they didn't cut out Belle's song.
This is the time of year I watch all versions of this to get into the Christmas spirit 🥳🍾☃️🎄
Sir Seymour Hicks(scrooge) performed thousands of shows on stage. Starting at age 9, then professionally by 16, he built a theater, produced, managed and was a writer as well. Quite a remarkable career.
Since 1950 I've watched this classical version & each year it shows i jump & giggle to it as if it were the first time. It's never lost its magic for me.
I just watched this. I also grew up in the 50's, and watched A Christmas Carol on TV in black and white, but I don't think it was this version. I was very impressed with the characterizations, and the production that went into this old version. It's so good that these old films have been preserved for the next generation.
The Sim animated version is a classic in itself, too. (And possibly and award winner.)
Beautiful lovely comment
And that (your description of how this movie make you feel) it the True meaning of Christmas!💖
@@madamrockford2508 I don't think that's what they were saying or meaning.
I thought I had seen every version of a Christmas carol. How did I miss this one? Still like Alistaire Sim best.
I think I’ve seen them all too. Love them all except the recentish Disney one.
Sim is our favorite also.
Yes Allister Simms is the best scrooge i think this is 1 of the 1st movies... I love the black n white. My fav Christmas movie. Merry Christmas evry1....
Me too! I watched the 1951 version yesterday and finished it, bawling like I first accepted Christ!
I guess yall never saw Muppets Christmas Carol.
This is one of the best versions of "A Christmas Carol." My personal favorite because it's presented in such an exceptional way. Excellent acting by all. Charles Dickens was a genius to create and write such a moving and heartwarming story. It was first published on
19 December 1843, and 177 years later it is considered one of the greatest pieces of literature to be written. Thank you Sir Dickens for your masterpiece story about Ebenezer Scrooge and all the other characters that have become iconic. I treasure "A Christmas Carol" forever and a day and am grateful that I was able to appear as Mrs. Cratchit in "The Christmas Carol" in my community when I was 18 years old.
Now 178 years ago. Really astounding. Human nature really does not change very much.....but so good to have it revealed to us every year.
the way they showed the Christmas pudding is exactly the way they prepared it in the 1800's. a form of this exists as "fruitcakes" in the present.
to think that he wrote it because he hated what had happened to the holiday during the victorian era and ended up creating a timeless tale of redemption by mixing three different genres...horror/scifi/fantasy
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams..
And even then, we miss half the moment since we're buried in our electronics. Anyway, that's a great quote and thanks for mentioning it!
It's July 2021 and I'm watching scrooge. I watched this as a child with my mom every Christmas Eve and now that she has passed I watched for the first time since then and I'm crying like a baby. Thank you for the memories.
Same here. I hadn't been able to watch it since 2015..
Beautiful memories of your mom... You’ll be with her again,
forever.....
So sorry for the loss of your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Merry Christmas!🎄🙏🏼
I'm glad that you had a loving mom.,,I didn't.
@@dwightpowell6673 that's so sad I'm sorry
This always reminds me of my favorite boss, David R.Ramage. If anyone knew how to keep Christmas, it was he. Mr. Ramage always shut down the print shop at noon and threw a grand Christmas party for his employees. Lots of delicious food and tons of beer and spirits. He would give each of us our paycheck and then another of equal amount for a gift. And because the other shops didn’t have a proper celebration, he would open the doors to everyone who wanted to attend. Everyone loved Mr. Ramage and I think about his kindness every year at this time. May his memory be a blessing.
Thank you for everything, Boss.
Can't imagine the mean skinflint flint Tories doin that generosity
You mean Fezzywig!
Wow! Wish he was my boss!
I just love these old Christmas movies.
Sir Seymour Hicks was born in the 1870s and was a very famous actor from a youth until his death in 1949.
He first played Scrooge in 1901, after thousands of theatrical performances he filmed the first version as a silent in 1913. Later in 1935 this sound version. Scrooge and Hicks were inextricably linked for decades, it's a shame he has been surpassed & largely forgotten.
I still appreciate this version and watching the actor who arguably most embodied this iconic character & for many generations he WAS Scrooge.
Wow go to know i can appreciate it more now. Merry Christmas to you.🎄🍭🎍❄🕊🍬☃️
Thank you for this very interesting information. I’ve just seen this version for the first time & it’s looks really good. As you’ve so beautifully put it, Sir Seymour Hicks WAS Scrooge for a few generations & yet very few people have seen or know of it. I’ll save it till closer to Christmas before watching.
When I was a little boy my mum read to my brother, sister and me every Christmas the story of Scrooge. She always explained that Scrooge was a horrible mean and selfish man but learnt the error of his ways and became a nice kind man in the end.
My favorite part is always the end when he is loving and kind. When he goes around helping everyone. Sometimes I wish I was rich so I could do beautiful things for people❤️ but since I’m not I give with my kind words and actions. Money when I have it. That’s pretty rewarding in its self.
kids when they are young don't know or understand poor and rich,, they know and understand life as it is,, and the way it is ,, well that's normal,, They understand curling up in mom's lap is a warm, safe loving feeling, That's something a millionaire can't ever buy really.
Being a caring, loving parent doesn't cost a thing but to the children it's wonderful thing that will stay with them forever,, They will grow and they will soon realise that some kids have these things that they can't have,, ie: special sneakers that cost a months rent to buy,, Great that some families can get them for there child,,,, but most can't.
paul I so agree! Beautifully put!
Detective H thank you. I try to be
Detective H absolutely. I love these old movies. They always make me feel better. Especially since they aren’t as violent or full of drama like they are nowadays. Or like the news is. Lol
Detective H yes same! I had to. My grandma was obsessed with it and she got depression and paranoia. We had to make her stop watching it too. She just couldn’t understand that most of the things on the news aren’t true and are rare happenings. That your mind reflects what you surround yourself with
This film was released 92 years after the book. “A Christmas Carol” was first published in 1843. That was 92 years before this. Now it’s 177 years old. Let that sink in.
Nice idea. The story is 177 years old. In 2027 it will be 92 years since the movie was released. This will make a good factoid for then.
I don't feel so old now,
elsa1942 hmm. God bless
😳
@@seanc5226 how old are you 40ish?
November 24, 2021 - Thanksgiving Eve 🦃🦃🦃 the pre-Christmas marathon begins with this classic! 🎄🎄🎄
I'm up ,I love these classic movies!I'm just a kid at heart! lol.i may be old but that's ok.MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT,PEACE ON EARTH,GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.🎄🎁🤶⛄🎅
"October 2021" Two months before Christmas. With the covid virus, many jobs lost, lives lost, many down personalities. As I go through Christmas Movies, this one touches my heart. It's the Spirit of Almighty God, as we know, that changes hearts.God changes scrooge's heart. Many of us who families are deceased, I want to encourage people, King David, had to encourage himself through prayer, devoted friends. I know that if I can help somebody as I pass along, then living shall not be in vain. MERRY CHRISTMAS. Love this classic.
I love it, too
I'm in disbelief that I have never seen this most excellent rendition of "A Christmas Carol"🌲
Amazing, some of these actors had memories of the 1800's and were witnesses of the golden age of Victorian Britain.
I am a fan of every version of this story, from the original story, through Seymour Hicks, George C Scott and Patrick Stewart. And to think Charles Dickens was making it up as he went along, developing the story as he submitted each chapter to be published in the daily paper as a serial. Inspired writing, indeed. This may be why his original plan was for 3 nights but later changed to just one. But no matter -- the story is timeless.
I’ve seen every film, most TV adaptations, but this story is still moving and every year I watch it, without fail..
I read it every year during this season and enjoy watching most versions of it.
The old movies are the best . . .
A wonderful Christmas tide 2019 to everyone out there :)
MidwinterLady My favorite is the version called A Christmas Carol. With Reginald Owen and Gene Lockhart. 1938.
David Charles Fisher Yes,that IS my favorite version,also,Mr.Fisher! I really like All of the actors in this movie,especially,Reginald Owen!!
Merry Christmas 2020!
A Merry Christmas 2021 ✝️
I agree! Merry Christmas 🎄 December 12/21☺️
I enjoy the Christmas movie and all others. They lift my spirits. They are very enjoyable. In other words they are good movie. Thank you. GOD BLESS you all.
This is my favorite version of a Christmas Carol and my favorite Mr. Scrooge
Oneof the few classic stories where the story line is not altered. I love this atmospheric version which made me feel it was in Dickens London that Christmas. Can only be captured in black and white.
I like the Alistair Sim 1951 version the best, but there is something about its dark lighting of 1930s movies like the horror movies made in that time that made this version the scariest Scrooge for me. When I was a kid the third spirit showing his Future scared me as much was The Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz. It was well done and the ending giving Scrooge a second chance is always a favorite to see each Christmas.
All these old Christmas stories r just timeless just gorgeous now as there where. Back then
Donald Calthrop is, by far, the best Cratchit on screen. His performance at 55:25 ff. still moves me to tears... 😢
I will watch any version of Dickens CC.... Any month of the year. 💕
My absolute favorite version of this movie in all aspects. Seymour Hicks portrayal of Scrooge cracks me up. Just love it.
There is something about old dark melancholic movies that just makes me feel good.
Same here. Merry Christmas to you. 🎄🎍🎁🍭🕊
I love those old fashioned clothing and furniture. They are so stylish and antique. I adore it.
Though I've not seen every version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, I'd wager it's the only one which ends with Scrooge going to a church service. How wonderful! Thank you for posting this lovely rendition.
This is the first time I saw this version of Christmas Carol. A very good movie to add to my list. Merry Christmas.
This one has the original music and superior acting that makes this one so real that you think you are there. The old black and white gives it that rustic old fashioned realistc scenery that really does send us back to that time period. There is no one like Sir Seymour Hicks and Donald Calthrop and Scrooges nephew!
Amazing Film. I'm Almost 70 years Old My Dad Told The Story Of Scrooge every Year To Us As Kids. He Did The Voices As Well. Also Watched The Different Scrooge Movies A Few Times. Lovely Memories. 🇬🇧
Dickens had a talent for choosing marvellous names for people and this one, Scrooge, has gone done in history for all time as the name of a mean fool who was forced by an angel to see the error of his ways...
Outstanding!
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you!
My dad grew up absolutely dirt poor at age of 12 he went out on side of knobley mtn in Keyser WV with a horse n plow barefoot n kept 6 kids n 2 adults alive for 2 years as his dad had heart dropsy dad skipped ,,3, grades n school a great n honest .man God how I miss him.
When it comes to movies, they are like wine, the older...the better!!!
we used to watch this every Christmas eve with our mom while we wrapped santa presents once we came to know there was no santa. it was a special time with mom I will cherish forever
This is the first time I ran across this version. One of my favorite movies of the year 😉.
My husband bought this 5 years back Lord I miss you Conrad 😢
An accurate portrayal to be treasured loved and an honor to have!
THIS CAME OUT JUST BEFORE THE GREAT DEPRESSION...IT STILL HITS THE MARK TODAY...WHAT A TEAR-JERKER...;)
Seymour Hicks is the best! I watch this all the time. My favourite film version.
Happy Christmas to everyone.x
This is my favourite version of A Christmas Carol! Can you believe this film is 85 years old?!! (as of 2020) The thing that's special to me is that there were people alive who remember those days when this first hit theatres. This Scrooge is the genuine article. No updates here. Charles Dickens was steeped in a very real, harsh time, he wrote his truth and it's wonderful to see it portrayed in a most accurate manner.
The intro 😯 ooh like Ive opened an old treasure box ...ok I'm watching this one.
Thank you for showing this timeless classic! Much appreciated!
I thought I had seen all the Christmas carols but no I haven't this is great I binge watch scrooge right up to Christmas eve
a Christmas tradition over three centuries now; and this is still the best film version yet
I love these old version of this film..!!! It isnt Christmas without them..... Happy New year y'all!!
One of the best version!
Love this great telling of the festivetime classic Scrooge, and Seymour Hicks puts in a stellar performance as the cantankerous old miser , love the grainy old black and white film which gives it a charm and a warmth that is simply enchanting.
Lessons that last for a lifetime... Family, Love, Faith and Hope...
This story brings me the Christmas spirit
I believe we are all entitled to our opinion but to watch Mr. Sims play Scrooge is a Christmas present to all our senses. Just the way he delivers the lines with the British accent is a treat. Sorry I am American but no American can deliver the lines like Mr. Sims. He deserved an Oscar in my humble opinion.
I can't believe I've never seen this before. Scrooge looks so rough. Haa
Seymour Hicks is British, what are you blabbering on about, can't believe how ignorant americans are
You're talking about the Alastair Sim version. That version, and this one with Seymour Hicks, are the ones I grew up watching. Now, I watch them every year, along with the Albert Finney version. These three are my favorites. May you all have a Merry, Joyous and Loving Christmas, and, God Bless Us, Everyone!
I like this one because it's so old-fashioned... and Alastair is a classic, but my fave is Reginald Owen
@@veganleigh4817 the musical version with Albert Finney was the first version I ever saw. Saw at the movie theater when it came out…I had never heard of the story before (I was 9 years old). Like with many others, my favorite version is the 1951 Alastair Sim one.
A really nice print of a story that will ring true through the ages.
As kids we always ritually watch each Christmas this old version of Scrooge.
THANK YOU! One of my all time favs. 😃🍿☕
I enjoy all versions. Every film adds something. Re: Alistair Sim; he was e was excellent in every film h
Makes me cry every time
I have watched all the Christmas Carol films made and I think that this is the best considering its great age! Made the year George V died!
It's the first time watching this particular version...loved it! :)
A timeless classic retold again and again but still doing what was done in the first one
Amazing that here in 2020 Scrooge's haircut is considered stylish.
Todays standard would be called 'bed head' !!😁
"My Lord - will you make your speech now, or will you let the ladies and gentlemen continue to enjoy themselves" - Classic!!!
This was indeed the best version in film history !!
Watching this Movie for the very First Time ----- 22nd November 2020. From, U.K.
Desember 2020. Greetings from Russia! 🎄☃️❄️
@@user-lx8nn4xq6s December 2020 😇 Greetings from Ireland x
Sir Seymore Hicks made this role popular on the London stage for many years. He also did a silent veraion that came out even earlier.
Lovely to see that toast to The Queen 😍 🇬🇧this has always been such a British story...it's very dark and atmospheric, gives you chills sometimes!
just watched 1984 George C Scott, then 1970 Albert Finney renditions back to back. LOVE them. i guess this is on the tube for us tonight!!! thanks so much for making this available!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!
Merry Christmas Jay Bae 🍕
I understand the character of Ebeneezer Scrounge! How years and years of sorrow, bitterness, and disappointment can turn person the way he is!
Merry Christmas 2020. 🎄❤🎅🎁🙏
The 2020 COVID Christmas may not be so merry for some... Here's hoping that Christmas 2021 will be normal and healthy for all.
@@kathil3347 Amen to that sister. And a very Merry Christmas. 🎄
Merry Christmas....and God Bless us ALL , EVERYONE!🙏💕
God Bless
Merry Christmas
Thank you, I love this one ever since I discovered it 10 yrs ago! It has it's own old appeal & was so well done despite what they had in special effects in 1935.
some wonderful vignettes, like the poor children outside the Lord Mayor's sumptuous dinner, singing along with the toffs inside - but the urchins sing with angelic voices.
This is the best version of a Christmas Carol . Merry Christmas everyone. And a safe healthy New Year . Praying 2021this horrible illness is gone , and everyone has a much better financial year 🙏🏻💜💙😊🎄🎅🏻
LOVE this version!. ♥ Great actors and a great story! Merry Christmas to everyone in 2021!! Happy Holidays!
One of my top favorite Christmas movies❤️ Love all classic Christmas movies ❤️
I watch all versions every year but this is my favorite one.
I remember watching this version back in 1959. I was just 5 years old. My grandparents purchased themselves a TV as a gift to themselves for the Christmas holidays
We didn't have a TV. So we went to their house for supper and a movie just before Christmas.
I was memorized by it.
Amazing how far technology has come in just 65 year's 🤣😅🤣😅😂🤣
I wish you a merry Christmas my beautiful lady with health and happiness it was my favorite movie of course I am much younger she had it 1 magazine her specific movie gift on dvd🎉💘☃️🎄🎈💒many greetings from Greece from the island of Santorini🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Thank you for this wonderful movie. Watched it in July and its still great!
Very happy ending, I just love it! Merry Christmas to you all folks!
A year on and I find a Christmas Carol I haven't seen before. This story about Christmas is one of my all time favourites all I need to watch now is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and my Christmas movies are complete
Always liked this version very well put together for the time
always watch Christmas carol during the holidays
Definitely. And even throughout the year if it grabs ya 😋.
I've seen several versions of this, I really like the Allistair Sim one.....but personally the George C. Scott version is my all-time favourite.
Thank you for uploading this wonderful movie 🎥!!! During this time of year I always enjoy watching Christmas movies 🎄!!! I absolutely love the old, black & white movies, they're classics & never get old! I'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas 🎄! All the best for the upcoming year, love from Toronto Canada
Starting Christmas. Early 18th September 2019 still watching this classic.
This has always been my favorite Scrooge movie. The actors were on point and the story-line is super close to the book.
It is so raw, creepy, and hilarious! Just as Dickens intended.
The photography and special effects are amazing for the time. Therefore, I think a restoration is merited and ultimately made into a holiday tradition.
Thank you for no commercials.
Peace
Mine to
One of the more underrated productions of the story. Sure, there might be newer and better ones out there, but Seymour Hicks gives a wonderful performance.
I was born in the same year this film was made. I have seen several versions of different productions, but never before have I seen this film. to my mind , given the age and technological limitations of this era , to me this was the best version yet. A magnificent film by all in it.
Are you still alive?
Had to come back to watch again because I have never had any particular version preference for a "Bob Cratchit" actor, until now. I found everything about the lanky Donald Calthrop in this role, completely compelling (especially the scene with Tiny Tim lying dead in bed)! That scene is also a reminder of things the majority of us these days never have to be concerned with...thought provoking, too. Can you imagine having to keep the dead body of a beloved family member in the home, until all preparations for burial had been finalized? While my favorite "Scrooge" remains Alastair Sim, this version is a gem because of Mr. Calthrop. 💖
Wa~ it’s gorgeous classic movie!
Thank you for let me see it
This is my first time seeing this version. I really enjoyed it and think Seymour Hicks made an amazing Scrooge. I agree with others that Donald Calthrop made a very memorable performance portraying Cratchit. Thank you for the upload!
It is up to us to teach the children, otherwise who would care as much. Merry Christmas ❤️
It’s Christmas Day 2021 and first I’ve seen this version!! Thank you so much.
