Interpreti e personaggi

Lo schiavo dell'oro (Scrooge) è un film del 1951 diretto da Brian Desmond Hurst.

Il film è la più celebrata tra le numerosissime versioni cinematografiche e televisive del romanzo Canto di Natale di Charles Dickens, grazie soprattutto alla straordinaria interpretazione di Alastair Sim nel ruolo di Ebenezer Scrooge.[1] Più di ogni altro, l'attore scozzese riuscì a tratteggiare la complessa personalità e la psicologia del personaggio, sottolineandone le fragilità, le timidezze, la solitudine, l'umorismo e soprattutto il suo represso bisogno di affetto. La sceneggiatura sfrutta a pieno le qualità dell'attore soffermandosi in particolare a ricostruire le vicende di vita che hanno portato Scrooge ad essere quello che è, e alla sua infelicità presente.

Il film ebbe subito grande diffusione e successo internazionale. È tutt'oggi uno dei film natalizi più frequentemente trasmessi dalle televisioni di tutto il mondo.[2]

Trama

A Londra vive un uomo considerato il più avaro e più cinico di tutti: Ebenezer Scrooge.
A causa della sua ossessione per il guadagno e per l'oro il suo impiegato Bob Cratchit vive in umilissime condizioni economiche ed ha un figlio con un piede nella fossa. Una sera, la vigilia di Natale, Scrooge congeda come al solito Cratchit e si avvia verso casa sua. Entrato comincerà per il vecchio un viaggio ultraterreno di profonda conversione spirituale per redimersi dai suoi peccati, cominciando dalla sua infanzia fino all'anno presente.
Alla fine Ebenezer Scrooge diventerà un altro uomo, più buono e più felice della vita.

Produzione

Il film fu prodotto nel Regno Unito da George Minter Productions e Renown Pictures Corporation.

Distribuzione

Il film uscì nelle sale cinematografiche britanniche il 28 novembre 1951, distribuito dalla Renown Pictures Corporation, e pochi giorni dopo, il 28 novembre, negli Stati Uniti, per opera di United Artists.

Fu reso disponibile in VHS nel 1989 e quindi in DVD nel 2004.[3]
