I'll watch Alistar Sim's Christmas Carol tonight by tradition...

Seen it since I was a kid.
I remember somewhere later in
my 20's or so "getting" the embezzlement, and financial maneuvering stuff that went over my head as a child!

I'd also watch Bill Murray's Scrooge which I like, but it's all paid this year.
I guess I'll see if there's any clips.

Happy Holiday movie watching, DU'rs!🎄👋

...and I appreciate that it's in black and white, enhancing the ghostly elements, and that Richard Addinsell's great score incorporates traditional tunes.

Alastair Sims is the definitive Scrooge and the rest of the cast is perfect!!
