Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Christmas Carol is a 1938 film adaptation of the novel of the same name, and the first U.S. sound version of the film.Directed by Edwin L. Marin, it stars Reginald Owen as Ebenezer Scrooge, Gene Lockhart as Bob Cratchit, Kathleen Lockhart as Mrs. Cratchit, Barry MacKay as Fred, and Leo G. Carroll as Marley's Ghost.Lionel Barrymore, who had played Scrooge on the radio during the 1930s, was the producers' first choice for the role, until he broke his hip in an accident which confined him to a wheelchair, in addition to worsening arthritis. Barrymore recommended that his friend Reginald Owen take over the role of Scrooge instead. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| A Christmas Carol (1938) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The film includes several scenes of Fred and Bob Cratchit being Christmassy that are not in the book. Scrooge tries to call the night watchman on Marley's ghost. When the police find nothing and leave, Marley reappears, confirming that he's real. This adaptation has Fred not be married yet, but engaged, and the Ghost of Christmas Present warns Scrooge that they can't afford to marry, but saying it doesn't matter because their love could fade with time. Scrooge disagrees, and in the end he makes Fred his business partner so he can earn enough to support his wife. | |

Adapted Out | |
| A Christmas Carol (1938) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: This version completely removes Ebenezer's doomed romance with Belle, although the Ghost of Christmas Past does hint at it, saying that she had yet to show him the "black years" of his life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| A Christmas Carol (1938) / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: The Ghost of Christmas Past is portrayed as a young woman in the film, as opposed to the childlike being in the original novel. | |
