I'll watch Alistar Sim's Christmas Carol tonight by tradition...

Seen it since I was a kid.
I remember somewhere later in
my 20's or so "getting" the embezzlement, and financial maneuvering stuff that went over my head as a child!

I'd also watch Bill Murray's Scrooge which I like, but it's all paid this year.
I guess I'll see if there's any clips.

Happy Holiday movie watching, DU'rs!🎄👋

...and I appreciate that it's in black and white, enhancing the ghostly elements, and that Richard Addinsell's great score incorporates traditional tunes.
