Classic Tales - Scrooge/Captain Kidd/Of Human Bondage (DVD)

CLASSIC TALES offers a trio of impeccably filmed adaptations of timeless literary masterworks. In SCROOGE, an interesting adaptation of Charles Dickens`s A CHRISTMAS CAROL, grumpy old Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by three Christmas spirits who help him see the error of his ways. CAPTAIN KIDD (1945) finds Charles Laughton as the ruthless pirate scheming to escort a treasure ship bound from India to England. Finally, OF HUMAN BONDAGE (1934) translates W. Somerset Maugham`s tragic novel of a young man`s misguided love for a gold-digging cockney waitress, played to starmaking perfection by Bette Davis in her first major role.
