    "A CHRISTMAS CAROL/SCROOGE" 1951 Alastair Sim on DVD

    "A CHRISTMAS CAROL/SCROOGE" 1951 Alastair Sim on DVD

    I received the disc and eagerly put on the special features. The interview with George Cole is wondeful as is the commentary track with him. Covers great British film history. The trailers are great to see and it is great to see the difference in how the film was sold to English and American...

    "A CHRISTMAS CAROL/SCROOGE" 1951 Alastair Sim on DVD

    I am a huge fan of SCROOGE, my source tells me it will look fantastic as well as the other George Minter production of TOM BROWN'S SCHOOL DAYS which features many of the stars and used a lot of the same production members and is another gem from the greatest era in Great Britain's film production.
