Скачать или смотреть Scrooge (1935): A Pioneering Adaptation of Dickens' Classic Tale

"Scrooge," a 1935 British Christmas fantasy film, is a notable adaptation of Charles Dickens' novella "A Christmas Carol." Directed by Henry Edwards, the film stars Sir Seymour Hicks as Ebenezer Scrooge, the miserly protagonist who despises Christmas. Hicks had previously played Scrooge on stage and in a 1913 silent film adaptation.

The film follows the classic story of Scrooge, an elderly and cold-hearted money-lender, who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. These supernatural visits transform Scrooge's outlook on life, leading him to embrace the Christmas spirit and change his ways. The film's portrayal of Victorian London and its characters has been praised for its atmospheric quality, reminiscent of German expressionist cinema.

"Scrooge" stands out for its early use of sound in a feature-length adaptation of the novella and for its faithful rendering of Dickens' story. The film is a classic in the Christmas genre and is known for its positive critical reception over the years, despite some technical limitations and the heavy abbreviation of Scrooge's backstory.
