Awesome choice, Alistair Sim in 1951's "Scrooge"Originally Posted by CGM
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

Re: Christmas Movies
huh, I forgot all about the older versions, though I know about the newer ones. The Alistair Sim version that I watch has always been called "A Christmas Carol" and not "Scrooge". My research tells me this movie had different names in different countries. Scrooge in Britain I guess, but "A Christmas Carol" in United States ( and Canada, apparently )Awesome choice, Alistair Sim in 1951's "Scrooge"
