## Description

Alastair Sim's tour-de-force performance as the ultimate miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, has almost single-handedly made this beloved version of Charles Dickens' story into one of the best-loved Christmas films of all time. Some of Britain's best filmmakers united behind Sim, who was joined by a delightful cast of accomplished and acclaimed English actors; creating what many today believe to be the best and most faithful production of Dickens' immortal tale. Cranky and curmudgeonly Scrooge learns the error of his unkind ways and is taught the true meaning of the holidays when he is visited by the ghost of his late business partner and the spirits of Christmas past, present and future. Special Features: Commentaries by Marcus Hearn and George Cole; Introduction by Leonard Maltin; "Dead to Begin With: The Darker Side of A Classic"- Explores the movies bleaker themes and how they rivaled London of the 1950's - features film historian and culturalist Sir Christopher Frayling; "Scrooge by Another Name: Distributing 'A Christmas Carol'" - Details the American release of this British holiday classic as told by distributor Richard Gordon; "The Human Blarney Stone: Life and Times of Brian Desmond Hurst"; "The Alastair Sim Version: Too Good To Be Shown Only At Christmastime - video narrative by Fred Guida, author of 'A Christmas Carol and It's Adaptations'; and A collection of early silent versions of Dickens on film.

Review: Best version ever! - This is the definitive movie of A Christmas Carol! There a lots of movie versions of the story and we've seen most of them. But this is THE movie to see. Alastair Sim is a great actor and is superb as Scrooge. Don't miss the chance to get this movie.
Review: A good DVD and a good story - A lot of people praise this edition of "A Christmas Carrol" as the definitive one against which all others should be measured. I personally don't think so. I like a couple of others better. That said, the DVD itself was fine. The picture quality was very good. The audio was very good. No complaints there at all. As others have said, the black and white format did add a bit of antiquity to it. This is now the 5th version of Dickens' famous story we own, and we'll certainly be watching it again. It's well done and it has a few touches (like the Victorian toys in a store window) not found in any other edition we have. Whether you think it is the best or not, it's still a good presentation of Dickens' timeless story.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A genuinely touching story of Christmas touching someone's heart
*by R***S on December 26, 2025*

This is our favorite version of The Christmas Carol. It stays very close to the tale as told in the original book. It does not suffer from an effort on Hollywood's part to pump and puff the story up with glitz and distraction or irrelevantly realistic graphics. We love it.
