    The Definitive A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1951): Starring Alastair Sim

    In a word: no. The primitive 1989 colorization was carried out in standard definition on a poor quality public domain print.

    The Definitive A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1951): Starring Alastair Sim

    A brief interjection: David, I hope you didn't think anyone was piling on you as it's clear you both bought that Spanish BD-R and posted its details in good faith.

    I've yet to pick this up on BD and would be grateful if someone could clarify once and for all the names, exact spec and A/V differences between the (three?) releases. If they can be posted here I'll make sure this comparison gets updated: http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=19443
