UK
Feature Film
Director: Brian Desmond Hurst
Writers: Noel Langley, Charles Dickens
Cinematographer: C. Pennington-Richards
Composer: Richard Addinsell
Cast: Alastair Sim, Mervyn Johns, Michael Hordern, Michael Dolan, Francis de Wolff, George Cole, Rona Anderson, Carol Marsh, Hermione Baddeley, Kathleen Harrison, Ernest Thesiger, Louise Hampton

This engaging adaptation of Dickens’s leftist classic, A Christmas Carol, depicting Ebenezer Scrooge’s transformation from heartless capitalist to bubbly humanist, following a visitation from four ghosts, is, despite the occasional lapse into sentimentality, a brilliantly acted, gorgeously photographed, and thoroughly entertaining festive treat.
