"Scrooge", A/K/A "A Christmas Carol", with Alastair Sims is the best, by far, adaptation of the Dickens holiday classic. Alastair Sims was the perfect choice to play Scrooge. Sims took Scrooge from a lonely, unfeeling man who cared only for money, to a person who finally got it, and reformed. The other cast members including, but not limited to, Kathleen Harrison, Mervin Johns, and Hermione Baddeley all did a fantastic job. This film was directed by Brian Desmond Hurst and filmed in glorious Black and White. I have seen this film over 15 times and never tire of it. Once you've seen this classic, no other adaptation of Dickens' story will measure up. Enjoy! John R. Tracy
