Funny how the television versions don’t quote that line. But they do make Scrooge to be a miser.

The 1939 movie “Christmas Carol” includes the lines about population control, both at the beginning when the men show up at Scrooge & Marley to collect for the poor, and when the Ghost of Christmas Present confronts Scrooge with his own words.
The 1939 version starred Reginald Owen as Scrooge, and Gene Lockhart (Lost-in-Space mom’s father) as Bob Cratchet.
