SCROOGE aka A CHRISTMAS CAROL (Dir: Brian Desmond Hurst, 1951).
Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol is the second most famous Christmas story ever told. It must also rank as the most filmed piece of literature of all time, with countless movie and TV adaptations surfacing yearly. For many, me included, this 1951 adaptation is the best version.
Scrooge (it retained its published title A Christmas Carol in the US) is, of course, the tale of the embittered miser who loathes his fellow man and mistreats his overworked, underpaid employee Bob Cratchit. The old curmudgeon is offered the chance of redemption on Christmas Eve when he is visited by four spirits who take him on a journey through his past, present and future to show him the error of his ways.
