This is a dark scene from the 1951 version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol which stars Alistair Sim as cold-hearted miser Ebenezer Scrooge. In it, the Spirit of Christmas Present shows Scrooge two neglected waifs who represent "ignorance" and "want". A shaken Scrooge asks if there is no refuge for them and the Spirit replies by throwing the miser's own callous words about the poor back at him: "Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?"
