"A Christmas Carol" 1951 version and I still believe in it!

Posted by Virgil Burks

There are many different versions of "A Christmas Carol" but my favorite is the one staring Alistair Sim. He is a British actor and is marvelous as Scrooge.

Every December, as Christmas is almost here,my sister,two of my nieces and I watch "A Christmas Carol" the non animated version special on satellite television from http://www.direct.tv/.

The movie reminds me every year to stop and review just what is important in my life. After I watch the movie, I find myself wondering if I had given of myself in all the ways, I feel truly matter. The movie stirs a peaceful and loving place inside me at holiday time.

"A Christmas Carol" takes place in such a nostalgic manner and the different time changes are so well portrayed in the 1951 film version. The style of the clothing and the sound effects, have a way of drawing me into the entire movie.

All the characters are well developed and evoke so many different emotions in anyone who is watching them.

I think Alistair Sim's excellent portrayal of Scrooge makes you believe the actual story plot. What a wonderfully spirited Christmas Story! I love watching it many times each Christmas Season.
