Critic Reviews

Steve Biodrowski, Cinefantastique
This early sound adaptation of Charles Dickens' immortal A Christmas Carol (1843) is slow in pace and static in execution.

This is just the old story of Ebeneezer Scrooge, no surprises, except maybe the horrible acting.

Follows the story closely - there's nothing bad about it per se, but it's so old and bad quality and there's so many versions of this story, that I probably wouldn't watch this again.
