Greater than “David Copperfield”!

Faithful version of the Charles Dickens classic about miserly Ebenezer Scrooge who, after being visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve, learns the meaning of the true spirit of the holiday. Reginald Owen took the role of Scrooge in place of an ailing Lionel Barrymore. Real-life husband and wife Gene and Kathleen Lockhart play Mr. and Mrs. Bob Cratchit, and their daughter June costars as a Cratchit daughter.
