Scrooge (1935) [Drama] [Fantasy] [Christmas]

"Scrooge" is a 1935 British film directed by Henry Edwards featuring Seymour Hicks as Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser who hates Christmas. It was the first sound version of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol, not counting a 1928 short subject that now appears to be lost.
Hicks had played the role of Scrooge on the stage many times beginning in 1901, and again in a 1913 British silent film version. The 1935 film differs from all other versions of the story in one significant way - most of the ghosts, including that of Jacob Marley, are not actually shown onscreen, although their voices are heard. Only the Ghost of Christmas Present (Oscar Asche) is actually seen in full figure - the Ghost of Christmas Past is a mere shape with no discernible facial features, Marley's Ghost is seen only briefly as a face on the door knocker, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is just an outstretched pointing finger.
Why the film was made this way remains unclear; it is obviously not because British filmmakers could not achieve special effects, since we do see Marley's face superimposed on Scrooge's door knocker. Another aspect making this film different from other versions of the story is that Seymour Hicks plays both the old and young Scrooge, rather straining the credulity of the audience, since by this time, the sixty-four year old actor was visibly too aged to convincingly play a young man.
Maurice Evans appears briefly as a man harassed by Scrooge to pay his debts. Donald Calthrop portrays a Bob Cratchit who bears an uncanny physical resemblance to John Leech's illustrations of the character in the original 1843 edition of the novel.

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.

Same here, Dec. 15, 2023.

[@HarryMarsee-fw9ot]

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.

My 2nd Favorite to the 1951 Version.

[@KevinBrownjr]

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

[@johnpruden6879]

I am amazed how many a Christmas carol there are, but i like the 1951 version. I am glad to see this 1935 version it warm my heart.

I prefer the one with George C Scott, although the Muppets' version is pretty funny and well done.

[@MossyMozart]

@@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. KZbin'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.

[@ReaperX7]

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.

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 (

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

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.

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!

I love in the end how Scrooge went to Church. It’s a pretty good version of the story.

[@SrVP100]

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.

[@Lurvy1963]

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.

[@MossyMozart]

@@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 KZbin's fashion historians, analyzes the film.

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

​@@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."

[@MossyMozart]

@FIDreams - If you want a truly VERY dark version, see "A Christmas Carol" with Guy Pearce. It first aired on FX in 2019 in three episodes. Like many of the versions, it has scenes created for the film. They are quite creative in making a sorrowful backstory for Scrooge (did I mention that this version is dark?). And although you may not like the turn it takes, Mary Cratchit is not just a prop in this version. The thing I like best is that the child who portrays Tiny Tim has actual disabilities and is not just a kid pretending to limp.

The sobering thought one is left with in Scrooge is that Jacob Marley remained in Hell despite the change in Scrooge's life. NO redemption after death -it is too late.

[@jacquesaubin4454]

How do you know? Marley is a spirit on the earth, not in the inferno.

[@wesleycook7687]

Marley was in Purgatory awaiting judgement because on his deathbed he realized he and Scrooge were wrong. He was sent to redeem his former partner and says "Look to see me no more" when he leaves Scrooge and shows him his fate if Scrooge doesn't change. Scrooge will be cursed to walk the Earth throwing money to the poor that cannot even see it. This was only touched on in the 1951 classic. The other versions just give the impression that Marley was damned and nothing could save him. In fact Scrooge's redemption would lessen his own torment. Sometimes this scene is edited out on TV. It's an important part of Dickens' story. The 51 version is the only one that really explains why Marley is allowed to walk the Earth to save his friend. Alister Sim becomes Scrooge. Few other versions can compare. I've seen the older ones that are still around and most of the newer ones. They just seem to go through the motions of the story without explaining anything.

That's Claude Rains' voice you're hearing as Jacob Marley, but he was uncredited, I'm not sure why. Two years earlier, he played The Invisible Man. I think that's the only version in which we don't see Marley at all. In the scene where Belle's children are shown, the song, "Here We Go Gathering Nuts in May" is being sung. It was also sung in The Invisible Man.
