One of my favorite versions of this classic Christmas tale.
This movie Scrooge is the best of all time in the Christmas Carol movies. Alastair Sim plays the part of Scrooge like no before or after has ever done. His actions on Christmas morning are so wonderfully and beautifully done. His actions are so realistic seeing he is still alive after experiencing such a terrifying experience in his nightmares, he is so overjoyed to be alive by his greeting to Mrs Dilber and his knowledge to now have a second chance at life for himself, family and friends ! Thank You Mr. Alastair Sim for such a wonderful movie ,I watch it every Christmas Eve and so do my children and their children .
love love love this particular adaptation so much!
I watched this with my Father every year, and will continue to do so, as long as I can. My Dad passed away in 2010, so it touches my heart every time I watch it. I watched it two times this evening. Thank you!
This one is the definitive adaptation of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Alastair Sim takes Ebenezer Scrooge from page to screen better than anyone to date. It became a favorite of Baby Boomers who grew up with it. Other generations should give it a try, not just the movie but the book as well.
Brilliant black and white adaption of an old classic book. You can't beat the old black and white films.
