Product Description

This 1935 British film version of Charles Dickens holiday classic stars Sir Seymour Hicks as the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who scoffs at the yuletide spirit around him. But on Christmas Eve, he embarks on a journey led by three spirits who convince him to mend his ways and embrace the joys of Christmas. This faithful interpretation of the beloved classic was the first feature-length film version of the story with sound and is noted for its superb performances. Hicks, who had played the same role repeatedly on stage and in an earlier silent film version, inhabits old Scrooge thoroughly and brilliantly. Donald Calthrop costars as the perfect Bob Cratchit, Scrooges impoverished clerk. Also featured are Robert Cochran as Scrooge s nephew Fred, Mary Glyyne as Belle, and Garry Marsh as Belle s husband. Director Henry Edwards was honored for his wonderful work in this film with a prize at the 1935 Venice Film Festival. Though many versions of Dickens classic have been released in years since, this is one that shouldn t be missed. Black & White

Good but length (minutes) incorrect
I have the longer version b&w which is 78 minutes....I ordered this as I wanted the "colorized" version....the webpage for this item under description states 78 minutes, however the product I received is printed on the case 60 minutes, and there are many scenes missing. But still worth the $ to view the colorized version.

5.0 out of 5 stars True to Dickens.
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2021

Scrooge with Seymour Hicks was broadcast as a motion picture film only 92 years after Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol. Hicks is true-to-life character of the period because in fact, he wasn't far removed from it. We find imperfect physical features of these early motion picture actors, bad teeth, but superior acting in "keeping with the situation" of the often disparate and extreme Victorian Era. Hicks is not Alastair Sim and the two are juxtaposed in presenting their unique, professional interpretations of the stodgy character Dickens wanted to introduce to the extremely hard-working laborers of the day to give them hope for a brighter future and to convey that their labor was appreciated and necessary for a rapidly progressing nation. Laborers during the dark Victorian Era did not have many hours in their relatively short, dark lives to enjoy freedom - hours of unencumbered leisure to do as they please as people enjoy today - but rather drudged through 12-18-hour daily shifts including Saturdays - earning what barely constituted as "wages" that were merely a token, legal gesture for the employer to claim on tax forms that these desperately impoverished and suffering folks were "employees" but not really slaves. From an appreciation of the arts standpoint, this ancient treasure is historic, brilliant, and should be preserved for these reasons, even if audiences tend to gravitate to the more exuberant and heartwarming portrayals of Scrooge by Alastair Sim and Michael Caine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bah… humbug
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2017

The quintessential seasonal morality play… which, admittedly, I have not seen in half a century, or so. There are numerous versions of the film now available. I elected for the one hour, 1935, classic version, with Sir Seymour Hicks in the lead role. The film has been colorized, which is OK with me. It is also rather grainy, and the dialogue, at times, is difficult to understand.

Charles Dickens wrote this story in 1843. The central character, Ebenezer Scrooge has become a metaphor in western culture for stinginess and hard-heartedness. It is the Christmas season, and his most common response to the festivities is the subject line. Less well-known are expressions that are over-the-top caricatures: “may you be boiled alive in your own Christmas pudding.” Hicks plays the role well, with some great facial expressions.

Bob Cratchit is his long-suffering, but somehow kind-hearted employee, who has six children, including “Tiny Tim,” a boy in ill-health, who needs a crutch to walk with. The central drama occurs that evening, when the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, comes to visit him. He proclaims that he “wears the chains I forged in my life,” and that he is here to warn Scrooge to mend his ways, or suffer the same fate. Marley says that he will be visited that evening by three ghosts, one representing Christmas past, present and future.

The ghost of Christmas past shows him the woman that he might have married, giving him his engagement ring back, because she caught him being so hard-hearted. And now, she is happy, with another man and family. And where is he? Ghost of Christmas present is a glutton, who shows him the tough life of his employee, Cratchit, with his family, and the death of Tiny Tim. Future shows Scrooge his own death, and how no one will miss him, and the rag-pickers sort out his belongings. He awakes frightened, and vows to mend his ways, which he truly does by wishing everyone Merry Christmas.

The spirit is right, and the lesson is learned more in the breach, as our headlines proclaim that the billionaires just added to their pile, by shedding some of that horrible burden of excessive taxes, and “Tiny Tim’s” health care just got cut back, in order to pay for it. Plus ca change…

Alas, not much progress in over 170 years. We need more ghosts to haunt the one tenth of 1%… with real lessons and consequences. As for this film of Dicken’s tale: 4-stars.

Please don't hate me for this.... This is not bad but you have to like a musical-style film. I love the other early 1900 version because, while there is singing, it's not 80% of the movie. It is still a timeless story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Miracle Pictures DVD of 1935 Scrooge Is Uncut, but Otherwise Unimpressive
Reviewed in Canada on July 26, 2020
Verified Purchase
This review is for the Miracle Pictures DVD of the 1935 Scrooge, starring Seymour Hicks. The Amazon.ca product number is B01GUOPZ1S, and the UPC is 0-90328-30846-9. It says "region free" on the back, and it may be, though I can't vouch that it will play on anything but Region 1 players, so British or other buyers outside of Region 1 should be aware of the potential incompatibility.

Most if not all other versions of this film are drastically cut, missing 15 to 20 minutes of the film; this criticism includes the version added as a bonus feature to the 2-disk edition put out by VCI. I bought the Miracle Pictures edition (after realizing my VCI version was heavily edited) because an Amazon reviewer said that it was the complete version of the film, and not bad in picture or sound.

Well, he was half-right.

It is a complete edition, running about 77.5 minutes; the picture and sound, however, leave much to be desired. The picture is acceptable in closeups, in indoor scenes, and sometimes even vivid in those; but the outdoor scenes are murky. The murkiness goes beyond anything justifiable as presenting a murky London evening. When characters move in the outdoor action scenes (kids sliding in the snow, etc.), there is a blurriness strongly suggestive of a PAL format converted badly to NTSC. Also, the music played at various points in the film is draggy and slow, to the point where the brass instruments sound as if they going flat. I assume that some of these problems are connected with a poor original source, but some of them are probably due to incompetent transfer.

Anyhow, since this is the only edition of this film that I know of to be complete, it's the only edition I can recommend -- though the recommendation is lukewarm.

As for the film itself, it is in some ways better than the 1938 American version, which features the worst Scrooge ever; at least Seymour Hicks captures the Dickens character as spiritually warped and not merely a grouchy curmudgeon, which is how Reginald Owen played the character. But neither version comes close in quality to the 1951 version with Alastair Sim. Not only are the acting, production values, music, etc. superior in the 1951 version; that version is more faithful to Dickens's book, including more of the original story. The 1935 version excises all the material about Scrooge's poor upbringing, for example.

There is a very cheap static scene menu, only six stops to cover 78 minutes -- almost useless. There are no subtitles or special features of any kind.

The current used prices being charged for this out of print edition are outrageous. The 1935 version was a "quota quickie" British movie in its day, put out by a minor studio (Twickenham); it was not a major production with top British care put into it (as one would find in the Korda productions or many Gaumont productions). Even a perfectly restored and polished edition of this film, if one existed, would not be a film of major importance to have in one's collection. If you can get it for $20 or less, then go for it; otherwise, I would pass.

This is really only a 3-star product. I give it 4 because it is the only complete edition of the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic through and through
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2012

As a huge fan of Christmas(and Christmas films), I have just recently purchased this(July)as I,m getting prepared!! What can you say about Scrooge...Its a timeless classic and the story has been told and retold ad infinite. But it deserves to be. the vast majority of the time you really cant go wrong with this truly wonderful story. For my money Scrooge(1951), Muppet Christmas Carol(1992) and the most recent Christmas Carol(2009) are simply divine. And yet this long forgotten(?) faithful adaptation which really can claim to be the more or less the original, seems to fall of the radar scale and has been neglected. And unjustly so. I have seen this maybe twice in my life. here in the uk I cant even remember when it was last shown on tv. And all the more bizarre considering the quality of this film. All of the reviews I,ve seen about this film are full of praise and must surely raise curiousity as to what its all about. So if you can pick yourself up a copy of the film and add it to your Christmas film collection. It deserves to be up there amongst the best. I have but one question to ask.... Does anybody out there know if actor Robert Cochran is still alive??!! According to imdb he was born in 1908 and yet there is no date of death. It would seem unlikely that the chap is still with us, although not impossible. After all Bob Hope and Gloria Stuart made it to 100 before they died. Just curious as I cant find any information on him(great asset to Scrooge!!) the last thing I,ll say about this film as I stuck with the non colour version after reading people,s reviews about the slicing and dicing and editing of the colour version(though I think the colour version dvd cover is better:)!!), but not enough to make me buy it!!:) As other reviewers have said stick to the B @ W version. Merry Christmas indeed!!
