A Christmas Carol

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: This Dickens classic is a perennial favorite spreading holiday cheer among all. Must see!
Review: A Christmas Carol (1951)

This tale was one of Charles Dickens' most beloved; a story that tried to distill the true spirit of Christmas and renew people's hearts every time they heard the tale, or in the case of film, saw it.  Dickens, of...

Bah! Humbug!

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2000
The Bottom Line: A must see.
Review: Welcome to Review Three in my series of dissertations on the various and sundry interpretations of Charles Dickens truly incredible novel, A Christmas Carol. I?m a bit out of order here, since I have already reviewed the 1984 and 1999 versions, and...

Are There No Prisons? Are There No Workhouses?

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2000
Review: Charles Dickens?s A Christmas Carol is just the type of dramatic, heart-warming holiday story that begs to be filmed. And it has been. Dozens of times. Ebenezer Scrooge, the hard-hearted miser who believes that prisons and workhouses are suitable...

A Chistmas Carol DVD: The Film Version That Even Dickens Would Approve

Date of Review:  Nov 23, 2009
The Bottom Line: This 1951 British version of "A Christmas Carol" still stands as the definitive film adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic tale of redemption and Christmas joy.
Review: "Marley was dead, to begin with.  There is no doubt whatever about that." 

So begins Charles Dickens' beloved classic novella published over 160 years ago.  Today, "A Christmas Carol" has inspired countless film adaptations.  Case in point,...

A Christmas Carol (1951), A Captivating Classic

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2009
The Bottom Line: MUST see for the A Christmas Carol fan. Actually, it should be a required reading and viewing in school.
Review: I'm supposed to be un-decorating the tree. I should pack away my stuffed gingerbreads and moose. I could be storing the holiday dinnerware. Yet, I can't burden my heart with these sobering tasks. As far as I'm concerned, the magical season isn't...

Scrooge: There's more of gravy than of grave about you

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2009
The Bottom Line:

Five fabulous stars for a highly-recommended, 60-year-old retelling, of a 150-year-old tale about a lost soul, and how the joy of Christmas aided in his redemption.


Review:
A Christmas Carol the book by Charles Dickens was first published in 1843. Film versions of the tale, mostly entitled Scrooge or A Christmas Carol have been around practically as long as there have been movies. The earliest version I know of is...

Christmas Carol : A Fine Movie to Ring in the Holidays

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: "God bless us - every one!"
Review: When I was a young boy, we did not have hundreds of cable or satellite tv stations, video tapes, DVDs, or movies on demand from computers.  We could not watch movies whenever we wanted to like we can do today. Basically, we had two choices for...

Alastair Sim Is The Definitive Ebenezer Scrooge

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: Virtually any serious version of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" is worth watching and learning from. The 1951 version is, I believe, the cream of the crop!
Review: When I was a child growing up in the suburbs of New York City, there was a program on TV named "Million Dollar Movie". In the pre-cable days of the 1950's and 60's, each movie ran for one week and was shown three times daily. The opening music for...

A Christmas Carol (1951)

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 1999
Review: "A Christmas Carol" has to be Charles Dickens' most famous work. There are countless versions and parodies, but all of them, this version is probably the best.

It tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge (Alastair Sim), an elderly businessman...

George C. Scott Version is the best

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 1999
Review: The 1984 Twentieth Century Fox version of A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott is in my opinion the best adaptation of this classic tale. Scott makes an excellent Scrooge whose change from Humbug to Believer is gradual and entirely compelling...
