Awesome choice,
Alistair Sim in 1951's "Scrooge"
The original "Charles Dickens': A Christmas Carol" was supposed to star Lionel Barrymore as Scrooge but he had a bad fall and was injured doing another movie and wasn't able to do the part but he suggested Reginald Owen as his replacement and he was great.
As a side note, it gets to me every time I watch the scene where Bob Cratchit brings home the Goose and asks the kids to guess what he has and Tiny Tim (as played by Terry Kilburn) says "Roast'a Beef" hahaha....like he's Italian "Hey, whassa'matta, I gotta the roast'a beef a right here paisan" hahaha ;D
