 Review of A Christmas Carol(1938)
Like a fine vintage wine, this 1938 Joseph L. Mankiewicz production is not to everyone's taste. Nevertheless, it is the warmest, most sentimental, most "Christmasy" if you will, of all the many fine renditions of Dickens' tale of Christmas. The quality of the DVD is nothing less than superb. Highly recommended.

 Excellent Qualty
Picture quality was great. It was great to see scenes that were left out or shortened when it plays on TV.

 Merry Christmas!
I won't spoil this for anyone who hasn't seen this version, but there are some really charming parts in this movie. The actor who played Bob Cratchit was June Lockhart's (we called her "Lassie's mother") father. There is no perfect movie of A Christmas Carol (it seems they'll leave out a part that will be in another version, or apparently the director never read the book, and changes something--like making Scrooge much too young), but this version always puts us in the spirit. Happy Holidays!
