A Christmas Carol (SE/DVD)

Ebeneezer Scrooge (Alastair Sim) contentedly meanders through his life as a cruel miser until one fateful Christmas Eve when he is visited by three ghosts.

Will Scrooge see the error of his ways and learn the true meaning of Christmas? Check out this hailed classic and find out!

"Of the many film versions of Dickens' "Christmas Carol" this is certainly the best. Alastair Sim captures the character of Scrooge like no other actor before or since. His transformation from a miserly old grouch into a generous, warm-hearted soul is a joy to watch. This film is a classic that can be enjoyed by all ages. Strongly recommended!"

"Alistair Sim plays Scrooge better than anyone else. I don't care if this movie is in Black and White or colorized, it is easily the best version of "A Christmas Carol" I watch it every year without fail."

"This is the classic version and the best version ever made. Allister Sims captures the role of Scrooge is such a way that you dislike him and then, after he "reforms" you are sorry you disliked him so. This is a terrific version to share with the family. It is timeless."

"This is by far the best ever adoptation of this wonderful story. Alister Simms is the greatest scrooge of all time. I love this movie and can watch it over and over again. With the extras like the 1930's version and colorized for those who would want to see it in color this is a great DVD for your collection."
