A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol is a 1938 film adaptation of Charles Dickens's novelette. Made by MGM, and originally intended to star Lionel Barrymore, who played the role of Scrooge annually on radio, but was forced to drop out of the film because of his arthritis, the movie starred Reginald Owen as Scrooge and Gene and Kathleen Lockhart as the Cratchits. Terry Kilburn, better known for his portrayal of Colley in Goodbye, Mr. Chips, costarred as Tiny Tim and a young June Lockhart appeared as one of the Cratchit daughters. Leo G. Carroll played Marley's Ghost. The characters of Fred (Scrooge's nephew), and Elizabeth, his fianceé (his wife in the novelette), were greatly expanded in order to work in a romantic angle to the story that Dickens did not intend. The couple was played by Barry Mckay and Lynne Carver.

You beat the record, that's what you did.

Look at Albert.

Come on then. Try and beat my record.

No, thank you, governor.
I'm not very good at running.

Here. Get up on my back.
We'll show them how to slide.

There we are. Wasn't that lovely?

It was wonderful.
It made my stomach all wobbly-like.

- Yes. We're a team, that's what we are.
- I don't suppose you ever fall down.

- Like Albert.
- Fall down?

:02:53

Who, me? No.
