A Christmas Carol is a 1938 film adaptation of Charles Dickens's novella. The movie starred Reginald Owen as Scrooge and Gene and Kathleen Lockhart as the Cratchits. Terry Kilburn, better known for his portrayal of Colley in Goodbye, Mr. Chips, costarred as Tiny Tim and a young June Lockhart appeared as one of the Cratchit daughters.

One of very many adaptations of the work, this popular version was produced by MGM, and was lavish for its day. Some of the eerier elements in the original story were downplayed, in keeping with MGM studio practice of the time. This version was later eclipsed by the 1951 film.
