Got a copy of the 1950'a version of Christmas carol with Alistair Sims - by far the best version.
Love that film, however caught the last hour of A Christmas Carol (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Christmas_Carol_(1999_film)) on Saturday night, it was tremendous. Now trying to track down the film on DVD. Sim, of course, is great fun, Patrick Stewart really touching in the part. It's film worth checking out.
