I have seen virtually all film versions of this story, and it is the B E S T! Alastair Sim is the best of the Scrooges, but
what makes this version #1 is that it follows the book almost verbatim, even down to the vocal comments. Most other versions take a little to far too much license with changes, the only other version I feel comes close is the one with Leo G. Carroll as Marley's ghost. I got this film on tape 6 years ago and plan to buy a new tape every couple of years to keep it fresh. This film is unparralled! I recommend it most highly!
