My favorite.

My second pick goes to the 1959 version with Basil Rathbone as Scrooge.

Merry Christmas!

Great story. Too bad the socialists claim this. As well as “Oliver”, etc.

We just finished watching that one. George C. Scott is amazing.
Loved Alister Sim also...just too good.

I like this version very much.

But, my favorite of all time is The Muppet Christmas Carol.

Michael Cain is excellent as Scrooge.

One of my favorites at this time of the year. I thought the 1970 Scrooge with Albert Finney was good although it was a musical adaptation.

Ol' George was born to play Ebenezer. His second best role, even better than Gen. Buck Turgeson, although Patton is the other one he was born for.
