Alistair Sim and the 1951 version of "Scrooge" is my all-time favorite

[book_worm]

version of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." I always felt that Sim's captured Scrooge the best and his reformation scene at the end is such a joy!

1. Oooh! That's my favoriteversion too!

I have a copy of it, in the original black and white.

I watch it several times every Christmas.

2. my tradition is to watch it at around eleven o'clock p.m. on Christmas Eve

I don't know why I just think it's a movie to watch late at night with the Christmas tree lights on and a couple of candles lit.

3. That's usually the atmosphere in which I watch it too.

One of the times I watch is definitely Christmas Eve.

10. Much love for the Patrick Stewart one!!!!!!!!!!!

That one is my favorite. I think he portrayed the most human Scrooge out of them all; less of a caricature and more like a real person you could meet on the streets. I love the way he plays him after the visits by the ghosts. There you see a Scrooge that is both happy, and ashamed and uncomfortable. Perfect I think.

7. My two quid...

Alistair Sim was great but I love the Albert Finney musical.



He goes to Hell, for Pete's sake.



That's hard to beat.

8. I hadn't noticed before, but,

Alastair Sim looks an awful lot like dead eye the dicK. It's my favorite too, nobody aired it this year so I snatched it off the tubes to watch.

9. George C. Scott

Many other fine versions, but in the end, it's not even close
