This rarely seen uncut version of the Dicken's classic "A Christmas Carol", the tale of a heartless miser who discovers the true meaning of Christmas when three ghosts visit him on Christmas Eve, is certainly one of the best. It features the marvelous performance of the legendary English stage actor, Sir Seymour Hicks. In the beginning, his Scrooge is one of the nastiest ever, looking like something that crawled out from under a rock, however it is precisely these qualities that make his gradual transformation all the more amazing. At the beginning, we loathe the man, at the end, we rejoice with him at his redemption. Hicks co-wrote the screenplay to this film, which is a thoroughly entertaining and effective retelling of a familiar story.
