Title: not the best...but ok if you're a collector
Review: I collect different versions of A Christmas Carol, I have about 15 old movies. This one isn't one of the best...Scrooge is poorly played, the sets look like they belong in a high school play and there are too many long lingering close up. The ending where Scrooge is having Xmas dinner with the Cratchits is laughable...Scrooge keeps twisting and contorting his face for about five minutes as if he'd practicing facial expressions of happy,sad,thoughtful,remorseful, happy,sad,thoughtful, etc.If you're a collector and just want another version to add to your collection, it's ok. If you want a good version of A Christmas Carol, stick with Albert Finny, Reginald Owen or Alistar Simms...or even the Muppets.
