THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS
Director Bharat Nalluri
Cert. PG 104 mins
We were all rooting for Dan Stevens, because of his Downton Abbey connections (Matthew Crawley). Sadly this move to the silver screen is not something I think he’ll be pleased with.
The film is about Charles Dickens. The premise is that Dickens’ publication of his Yuletide novel, A Christmas Carol, radically enhanced the way the festival is celebrated. The end notes inform us that charitable giving soared as a result.
