A Christmas Classic
The 1951 black and white version of A Christmas Carol, starring Alistair Sim, is widely considered to be the definitive of the many film adaptations of Charles Dickens’ classic novel.It’s the timeworn story about the miserable old merchant Ebenezer Scrooge and how his own disappointments in life shape his view that both life, and men, are not worthy of his notice or concern.
He displays no charity to mankind generally, and in particular, to his employee Bob Cratchett (Mervyn Johns) and his unfortunate son, Tiny Tim (Glyn Dearman).
But the miserable gent is about to get his comeuppance when he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
