Joel H At around 40 minutes, Old Scrooge is much longer than its predecessors (Scrooge or Marley's Ghost (1901) & A Christmas Carol (1910)), but it's the same essential presentation. The standout here is Seymour Hicks, as the titular character, who seems very rough around the edges. Once again, Jacob Marley replaces the three Christmas spirits and, once again, they use superimposed images to create the ghostly visions. I would consider this to be the best of the three silent film adaptations I've seen, but the version I saw didn't have any musical accompaniment, so that made it more tedious to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
