“A Loving heart is the truest wisdom.”
– Charles Dickens
Alastair George Bell Sim, CBE
1900 –1976
Some people are born for a role. Alistair Sim IS Scrooge.
Call it ‘Inspired Casting” or whatever you like, but not only is this the finest vision and version of Charles Dicken’s Spiritually inspired story,
but Scrooge is among the Finest Films of all time.
Most other film interpretations are pale as
Morley’s ghost when measured against this Classic.
Scrooge, movie and book (A Christmas Carol)
contains literally (if you’ll excuse the expression)
dozens of quotable passages – a sure sign of Inspired writing.
And a sure sign that Charles Dickens himself was in a Class of his own.
Truly an heartwarming and uplifting movie.
I watch it every year (and cry my eyes out).
And will again.
“Bob’s yer Uncle!”
and God Bless us – Everyone!

AHHH !!!! Beautiful ! Thank You GP – to Your and Yours have a Great Christmas !
A fine classic and worthy tribute, JC. Merry Christmas!
Thank You Cindy!
Hope You have a fine Christmas!
The 1951 version is the only one worth watching. It was funny when I discovered that it was the only one my granddaughter thought worth watching. Every now and then, generations actually agree on something — and Scrooge was it!
A couple of the others are OK … but Scrooge has the Magic!
Merry Christmas to You and Garry!
Cheers to you Colin !
Lovely post on a great movie. Merry Christmas!
