Critic Reviews

, TIME Magazine
Though Dickens' frank sentimentality calls for broad treatment, Brian Desmond Hurst's direction is too often heavy as well.
-
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
What we have in this rendition of Dickens' sometimes misunderstood Carol is an accurate comprehension of the agony of a shabby soul.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
At a reasonably short 85 minutes, this is nevertheless a complete experience, and the strength and depth of its drama makes it the most memorable of any adaptation of the tale.
-
Scott G. Mignola, Common Sense Media
The classic book brought to life.
-
Michael W. Phillips, Jr., Goatdog's Movies
One of the handful of best Christmas movies ever made.
