The Many Faces of Scrooge

When I wrote that the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol was my favorite adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic, many agreed with me and many named other versions that they thought were even better.  Alastair Sim was the top choice, but there were plenty of others too, so now, two years later, I have decided to list as many "faces" of Ebenezer Scrooge as I can.  Here we go...

Tom Ricketts - 1908's silent movie A Christmas Carol, produced by Essanay Studios

Marc McDermott - 1910's short silent movie A Christmas Carol, produced by Edison

Seymour Hicks - played Scrooge twice, in the 1913 British silent film that was released in the U.S. in 1926 as Old Scrooge...

...and again in 1935 British film, Scrooge, one of the first sound movie versions of the story.

Lionel Barrymore - on the radio throughout the 1930s and 1940s
