DVD Reviews of A Christmas Carol

DVD Review: The Best!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my favorite Christmas Carol. It is so true to the original story. I have many versions and this by far is the best.

DVD Review: Christmas Carol
Summary: 5 Stars

My original order got lost in the Christmas mail. When I questioned Amazon, they immediately sent me another copy. I really appreciate their quick response.

DVD Review: A Classic Christmas Tale
Summary: 5 Stars

It's a great film adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Shot in black & white, it adds to the drama of watching it just once a year. In my opinion, better than a lot of the others out there but this could just be because I grew up watching this version so I may be partial because this was always part of our Christmas tradition.

DVD Review: Best Christmas Spirit
Summary: 5 Stars

My husband always wanted to watch this Christmas Story, but we could never find it. I finally found it on Amazon and it really is the best one. It is in black and white, but I thought it was really wonderful inspite of that! We loved it and it helped to make our Christmas just a little but better!

DVD Review: Great theatre with this version of "A Christmas Carol"
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been watching Reginald Owen portray Scrooge in this version of A Christmas Carol each Christmas as long as I have known it existed. There are many great versions of this story, but this one is the one that I watch while wrapping Christmas gifts and decorating my tree. It is most like seeing a stage play of this wonderful story. Added to that, it is interesting to see June Lockhart as a young girl, acting with her parents (especially if you are a baby-boomer and remember her as Lassie's mom!). And Reginald Owen is Scrooge perfected! (To see Reginald Owen in another classic, check out "Mary Poppins" and look for Admiral Boom!)
This "A Christmas Carol" is simply GREAT THEATRE!!!

Description of A Christmas Carol

A classic that's as integral a part of Christmas as lighted trees and mistletoe. Reginald Owen and Gene Lockhart star in this rewarding holiday treat.
This 1938 MGM version of the Dickens classic is not the most rewarding of the various adaptations (that honor goes to Biran Desmond Hurst's 1951 film, starring Alistair Sim), but it has a strong if narrow performance by Reginald Owen as the miser Ebenezer Scrooge. Directed by Edward L. Marin, the movie is stiffer and less imaginative than it ought to be, but there are some compensations in the supporting cast, including Leo G. Carroll, and the film debut of little June Lockhart. --Tom Keogh
