PLOT: Miser sees the error of his ways. Alistair Sim is excellent as the miser Scrooge. He grudgingly gives Bob Cratchet Christmas day off. "Humbug" is the phrase when his nephew wishes him a 'Merry Christmas.' But in his sleep his dreams shows the 3 SPIRITS...one on his door knocker starts the tale of Christmas and we see the miserable lonely life that led Scrooge to be a miser. As Scrooge sees the misery of poverty even to the demise of Tiny Tim the youngest son of Cratchet the newly awakened Scrooge takes a turn for the better. He gives his housekeeper a "raise" who assumes he is crazy. But his "gifts of kindness" give Scrooge the ability to change for the better. Sims runs with this role. He is miserly right down to his filthy clothes and stand on end hair. When he suddenly finds his kindness and humor takes over as Sims looks at himself in the mirror and no longer shudders at what he sees. EXCELLENT the best version of this classic tale. the colorized edition is excellent and it has been improved to have a quality picture and sound. 5 STARS all the way.Vollständige Rezension lesen
There are some years when you enjoy watching these and they are not always on regular television or on Netflix or the like. So, owning some of these are good to have. It is nice to own a few different ones, of these Christmas Carol, if just to see how things have evolved. The wonderful things that good men have brought to us over time is realized.

Many years ago, when first I met my husband, he introduced me to many movies that I had yet to see. One of them was "A Christmas Carol" starring Alistair Sim. I knew this classic Dickens story and had seen other versions of the story in movie form. But once I saw Alistair Sim as Mr. Scrooge...I was hooked! Mr. Sim wonderfully portrays Scrooge and in my mind has become the model to compare others against. The entire production is done to give the true Dickens feeling to this holiday classic. Tiny Tim is well portrayed and his lips even have a slight tinge of blue...indicative of a problem with normal breathing associated with his illness. From the moment the action begins it holds the attention of the viewer all the way through...and leaves all with a feeling that we should search our souls to be sure there is no "Scrooge" within us that we need to change! This film is watched by us throughout the year, as well as at Christmas. If you have not seen this version I strongly recommend that you do view this one. It is available in the original black and white and now in the colorized version as well. Some dvd's have both types so that you are able to choose your favorite way to watch this life lesson and film wonder! Once you have viewed Alistair Sim as Scrooge...I don't think you will want to see anybody else in that role or any other version of this film.Vollständige Rezension lesen
A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite books. I know it's a bit sentimental but the concept of a complete reversal of a wasted life remains inspirational to me. I've seen Alastair Sim's portrayal of Scrooge dozens of times but I nearly always watch it again during the Christmas holidays. For the dreary parts of the movie, the black & white version is superb; however, for the happier parts of the movie, the colorized version makes the contrast with Scrooge's current condition even more poignant. I think an ideal version of this movie would start out in B&W (using color only for the happy scenes from Scrooge's past and when showing the spirit of Christmas present) and, after Scrooge's change of heart, finish the movie in color. I'm glad that the DVD includes both the B&W and the colorized versions.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Every year on Christmas Eve, I looked forward to watching “A Christmas Carol”. I preferred the version staring Alistair Sim and liked to have it on while preparing many of the food items that we would serve to our family and friends on Christmas Day! Despite the number of channels that cable TV offers, the showing of this classic movie slowly began to disappear from the offerings on cable, and I began to feel like Christmas wasn’t Christmas anymore without at least a single viewing of this classic movie. Like any good shopper today, I turned to eBay to find a copy of the movie and found it in both VHS and DVD formats. I chose the DVD that gave me the option of viewing the movie in either the original black and white format or the “colorized” version. I now have a permanent copy of the movie that makes Christmas complete for me. It may only get one showing per year, but for me, it fills my need for what I believe is an essential element for a Merry Christmas –“God Bless us everyone!”Vollständige Rezension lesen
This is an older version of the "A Christmas Carol" movie, which has since been performed by many other capable actors. However, in my opinion, this is the best version of them all. Alistair Sims is excellent and believable as a miserly Scrooge who, with spooky promptings, eventually becomes a loving, charitable person. The Victorian settings are realistically shown. This particular 1999 DVD edition comes in the original black and white, plus with a color option. This classic deserves to be a family tradition, to be watched every Christmas season, and makes a wonderful gift.

Movies don't come any better than this Alastair Sim version! The REAL THING! There are some other great versions-Patrick Stewart, Reginal Owens, and George C. Scott, but THIS one is the BEST! EVERYONE should own this version! Whether you've never seen it, or viewed it 100 times, it' so entertaining and magical to watch! The acting from the entire staff is first class, and the script and story are fantastic! If you haven't ever seen it-YOU NEED THIS ONE! It's for the Christmas child in all of us, and is all about the values we cherish so much! The choice of watching it in either black/white or colorized is another perk to this dvd. Personally, I prefer the black and white version, but it's all about preference-and the viewer has that option! Renee'
Great acting and very entertaining. Alistair Sim is nicer version of scrooge making a more family friendly movie. A plus is the colorized version that really brings the picture to life. Also has subtitles which makes it nice for those hard of hearing or just clarifying those hard to understand dialogues.

Sim's portrayal of Scrooge is undoubtetly one of the finest performances ever given in a film. Forget all other versions - none come close. Through Scrooge you will vicariously revisit your own childhood and young adulthood, and you will certainly ponder your own life - past and present. And it is redeeming to know, that like Scrooge, you still have time to set things right. There is also much laughter at the end. I think the black/white version captures the mood of the period so successfully, that I prefer it to the colorized one.
Love this movie just have never seen it on color. It just makes it better. I would highly recommend this movie for a gathering of family at Christmas time. Very entertaining, and even modern kids would lay down phones, tablets, ect. to watch.
