I watch this film every single year. Since 2016, I've been reading the book every year too. I absolutely love the story, and this version stays very true to the book. In many ways it's quite tragic for a Christmas story, but it has a wonderfully uplifting ending, and a strong message that everyone should listen to. "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." (I still prefer the Muppets' version though!)

I can't believe this is my first Christmas Carol movie. Man, I feel weirdly old, lol. Alastair Sim, as Scrooge, is superb. The story of A Christmas Carol is one of the greatest Christmas stories ever made.

One of the most iconic adaptions of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is a compelling tale of redemption. When a stingy businessman is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future he learns the error of his ways. Alistair Sim gives a stellar performance that would define the Scrooge characters for years to come. And director Brian Desmond Hurst does an impressive job at capturing the feel and tone of the Dickens’ novel. Additionally, screenwriter Noel Langley adds some interesting backstory to Scrooge in how and why he adopted such a ruthless business ethic. Scrooge is a powerful film that realizes the literary classic as never before.

[6.0/10] It’s not *Scrooge*’s fault that I’ve watched umpteen other adaptations of *A Christmas Carol*, I’ve seen everyone from Patrick Stewart and Bill Murray take on the role of Ebenezer and leading lights as luminous as Mickey Mouse and Kermit the Frog become Bob Cratchit. There’s a rea More

I read a review by a critic which stated this is the best adaptation of the oh so familiar story of Charles Dickens’ Scrooge. Not because of advanced production value or cutting edge special effects. In fact, this movie is definitely low tech, being from 1952 as it is.

But now I agree with that More
