Review of A Christmas Carol (1938) by Adam B — 29 Jul 2008

The 1930s classic about a miserly old Scrooge who is so stingy with his money that he must dream about ghosts pointing the way to break out of it. Based on the Charles Dickens story. Updated for 1938, which was at the height of the Great Depression, and just prior to the World War 2, Now the movie has implications of the New Deal and Roosavelt, and his plan to "soak the rich", which with that context in mind, makes the story, set in London like the book, seem somehow appropriate for America too.
