THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1951)

Alastair Sim stars as miser Ebenezer Scrooge in this quality retelling of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol”.

The classic tale in which he is taught the true meaning of Christmas by three Spirits who visit him, revealing to him the truth about his own miserable existence, what opportunities he wasted in his youth, his current catalogue of cruelties, and the dire fate that awaits him if he does not change his ways.

Scrooge is faced with his own story of growing bitterness and meanness, and must decide what his own future will hold, death or redemption.

The Spirits are played by Michael Dolan (Past), Francis De Wolff (Present) and Czeslaw Konarski (Future)

The other key characters and portrayed by Michael Hordern (Marley), Eleanor Summerfield (Flora), Mervyn Johns and Hermione Baddeley (The Cratchit’s), Glyn Dearman (Tiny Tim), Roddy Hughes and Hattie Jacques (The Fezziwig’s), Brian Worth (Fred) and Carol Marsh (Fan).
