   "Scrooge" (A Christmas Carol) 1951

   Okay, here's the rub:   
      
   Towards the end of the film, Scrooge wakes up in bed tossing and   
   turning and grabbing the bed curtains, so we assume that he dreamed   
   the entire sequence of the three spirits.   
      
   But when did he go to bed?  He leaves work, tells the poor man to go   
   to debtor's prison, won't spend a half-penny for extra bread, sees   
   Marley's face in the door knob, sits by the fire and eats his soup or   
   gruel and then Marley makes an entrance and tells him he will be   
   visited by three spirits.   
      
   When did he go to bed if he wakes up from the dream towards the end of   
   the film?  Was Marley's face on the door knob part of the dream?  How   
   could it have been?   
      
   Enquiring minds want to know.
