A must-own classic for any collection of Christmas films, the 1938 MGM production of A Christmas Carol tells the enduring Charles Dickens story of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, played by Reginald Owen, who is taught the true meaning of Christmas through visitations from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. This beloved fantasy drama, an essential holiday viewing experience, was released on December 16, 1938. It was directed by Edwin L. Marin and produced by Joseph L. Mankiewicz from a screenplay by Hugo Butler. Major actors and actresses include Gene Lockhart and Kathleen Lockhart as Bob and Mrs. Cratchit, and Terry Kilburn as Tiny Tim. The film, which was frequently revived by MGM, performed moderately well at the box office upon its initial premiere at Radio City Music Hall.
