Hi hi! So apparently I picked the wrong one, and people aren’t afraid to let me know… haha. Apologies to those that don’t like this version, but I wanted to start from the beginning and work my way through them. So next year I’ll do the beloved 1951 and in the meantime I hope you still enjoy this version, I did…! See you tonight, and I hope that everyone has had a lovely Christmas and holiday week! 🖤

A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1938) - MOVIE REACTION - First Time Watching

A Christmas Carol is a 1938 American fantasy drama film adaptation of Charles Dickens's 1843 novella of the same name, starring Reginald Owen as Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who learns the error of his ways on Christmas Eve after visitations by three spirits. The film was directed by Edwin L. Marin from a script by Hugo Butler. It was June Lockhart's film debut, the beginning of her lengthy career in cinema. Hello everyone and welcome to The Coby Show!

This version is definitely worth a watch, if only to compare it to all the ones that come after it. Movies generally got darker and more serious after WWII, which makes this pre-war film seem a bit silly in comparison. Also, the 1951 version is a genuine British production, made in the UK with real British actors. (Did you notice that the conspicuously plump Bob Cratchit in this film is also the New York judge in Miracle on 34th Street?)

Thanks Coby! This is a great classic. Humbug means a fraud or nonsense. You wore a sleeping cap because when the fire burned out the house would be freezing. That is why they had heavy curtains around the bed to hold your body heat. Workers did not get paid for Christmas until A Christmas Carol became popular and workers started demanding that they be paid. You can thank Charles Dickens for holiday pay. My favorite version is 1951 with Alister Sims, then 1984 with George C Scott, but they are all fun to watch!
