I appreciated Forbes Dawson as Mr. Fred and this represents, for me, the main virtue of film. I loved the accent to his family life. I saw Russell Thorndike as not so usual Scrooge , from reactions to the end , the reasonable explanation being, off course, the 25 minutes of film.
And, not surprise, I perceived the ghosts as Achilles heel of film.
But entire story is decent reminded and , sure, the absence of few significant scenes - like the dinner of Cratchids can be regretable but the film just works pretty well, proposing fair atmosphere, some humor and the expected final.
Russell Thorndike is man of formula of character and exactly this fact makes the story little more pleasant .
