Best Foreign Film | 1936
Seymour Hicks first played Scrooge onstage in 1901 and it became his most popular role. Throughout his career he played it over a thousand times, often at fund-raising benefits.
The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.
This is the first full length version of the story with sound; there had been a short, Scrooge (1928), which was the first sound version.
This film is the first live action production to include the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come's scene of Scrooge's shrouded corpse as in the book.
This was the second time Seymour Hicks had portrayed Ebenezer Scrooge on film. The first was in Old Scrooge (1913), 22 years earlier.
"Lord Mayor's Secretary: [at a huge Christmas Eve dinner being held for polite society] My Lord, shall we proceed with your speech, or shall we let the ladies and gentlemen continue to enjoy themselves?"
"Ebenezer Scrooge: To Tiny Tim I'll be a second father."
