This is by far the best of all the Christmas Carols. Starring Reginald Owen as Ebeneezer Scrooge and Gene and Kathleen Lockhart this is a true timeless classic. Although many say Alastair Sim's version is good, the 1938 version beats it. All actors in this movie portray their parts perfectly and this movie goes down as one of the all time great Christmas classics. Reginald Owen especially gives a stellar performance. A definite 5 out of 5.
