A Charles Dickens Christmas

Bundle up for a jolly jaunt with A Charles Dickens Christmas, a heartwarming archival film that dramatizes a wintry slice of The Pickwick Papers, whisking you along Mr. Pickwick and his merry band’s cross-country coach ride. This mid-century gem clatters through frosty England: hooves crunch snow, coach wheels creak, laughter spills as Pickwick—top hat askew—leads his friends to Dingley Dell Farm. The camera dances at the Christmas revels—fires crackle, fiddles hum, tables groan with mince pies and punch—capturing Dickens’ Yuletide glow. Reproductions of Robert Seymour’s original sketches flicker in—quill lines sketch Pickwick’s plump cheer, a dance’s whirl—blending ink with live cheer. With sprightly narration and Victorian flair, it’s a mid-20th-century toast to fellowship and festivity.
