A Christmas Carol (28-Nov-1951)

Original Title: Scrooge

Director: Brian Desmond Hurst

Writer: Noel Langley

From novel: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

Musical Score by: Richard Addinsell

Producer: Brian Desmond Hurst

Keywords: Drama, Christmas, Ghost

A deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, and three ghosts appear to Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas Eve in Victorian London, offering him redemption if he were to change his miserly ways. Best adaptation by far of the Dickens novel, with triumphant performance by Alastair Sim as Scrooge. Some unimportant variations from the book but captures the spirit spot-on.
