A Christmas Carol: Scrooge (1951)

One of many adaptations of the Dickens novel, and a necessary watch after subjecting myself to the awful Disney 3D animated version. Originally titled "Scrooge" in the UK, and on the imdb list way back in 2001, I've been saving this one for 6 months to watch in season.

It was a good idea to watch it so closely to a bad version to fully appreciate it. First off it is amazing how two films with almost identical storylines, even scripts, could be so much different. Full of emotion, and only in black-and-white this film proves to me that acting trumps effects any day. We all know the story of the ghosts visiting scrooge, so it is futile to discuss that in this post.

This is regarded as the best film adaptation to date, and if you can get past the black-and-white it is the one to watch with the family.

Vote: 7/10
