Review – Scrooge

Despite dating all the way back to 1951, the Alistair Sim version of Dickens’ most famous work remains the favorite among many audience members, including me. Sure, Sim gets a little carried away at the end when he turns good and all, but he does a delightful job as the nasty Scrooge toward the beginning. This version also includes most if not all of the stock elements without trying to do anything excessively clever with them. Perhaps that’s why it’s endured as well as it has. It’s just the story, nothing more and nothing less. Worth seeing
