    This feels oddly like a filmed theatrical version. Everything is very over-the-top. I suppose there's an aspect of the Christmas Carol story that is always over-the-top, but I wasn't terribly fond of this version, with the theatrical intoning of the lines and the dramatic switch in character without much transitioning. The Alistair Sims version triumphs quite a lot over this.

    not my favorite, but maybe a more authentic version of the tale. better scrooges exist, but this one was warmer, lacking in the (now) expected over-dramatic acting.
    i hated Tiny Tim. more accurately, i hated the actor playing him.

    It may take liberties with Dickens' book, but it is very faithful. It does omit part of Scrooge's journey into the past which I feel contributed greatly to his miserly ways. However, it did add a few nice bits of Fred and his lifestyle which may not have been filled with monetary riches but a love for the life he has.

    All you need to do is see one version of the story. I've already seen three so I don't need to see anymore.

    I watch it most every time it's on cable and I happen to tune in to it - that's the secret to my two star rating system.

    A classic right here. This movie is a great story and can be enjoyed by all ages. Also has a lesson to it too. It is an older movie but it is worth watching, has some comedy in it. Also look for the bloopers, there are many in this movie (since it is from 1938) and they are just right there.

    At this point I think the movie is a little over rated. It's not as funny as everyone remembers it being.

    The original black & white version is better to watch than the colorized version of this classic Christmas movie. While not my favorite version to watch and the supporting cast are just wonderful in their portrayal of their characters. The film's rather short running time keeps the action moving along briskly, with one famous & beloved episode after another coming alive before the viewer's eyes. I rank this version in fourth place behind Alastar Sim, George C. Scott and Patrick Stewart versions.

    I have seen enough Christmas Carols. Alistair Sim is in first place and George C. Scott in second, with Bill Murray winning Weirdest for Scrooged.
