A Christmas Carol - Film

There are more than 20 versions of A Christmas Carol - let alone all the spin-off films like Bill Murray's "Scrooged" which offer film goers a variation on Charles Dickens' original Christmas Carol theme.

The 1971 version, with Alistair Sim in the title role of Ebenezer Scrooge, is often regarded as the best cinematic attempt to bring the book to the big screen - though most people who have read the book (available for free from our website - click here) think that no film-maker has yet really done justice when trying to capture the magic of Dickens' seminal Christmas tale.

Written by Charles Dickens in 1843, A Christmas Carol is considered to be the greatest English Christmas story. It tells the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old and doomed miser who is saved from damnation by the intervention of his long dead partner's spirit and by three ghosts which represent Scrooge's past, present and future. Seeing the folly of his ways, Scrooge is a changed man - embracing Christmas with an open and willing heart.
