Summary:
"Alastair Sim's tour-de-force performance is the definitive portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge in this beloved version of the Charles Dickens story, A Christmas Carol. Ebeneezer [i.e. Ebenezer] Scrooge (Alastair Sim) contentedly meanders through his life as a cruel miser until one fateful Christmas Eve when he is visited by three ghosts. The spirits show him how his behavior over the years has made him a lonely, bitter man, and how his heart has grown colder. Using events from Scrooge's idealistic past, dreary present and dismal future, the apparitions try their best to melt his steely soul. Tightfisted Ebenezer Scrooge learns the error of his ways through the intervention of the ghost of his former partner and of the three spirits and, just in time for the holidays, manages to make everyone’s lives a little brighter, his included! Critics widely consider this
