In the latest festive episode of the FILMS I OWN BUT HAVEN'T WATCHED YET podcast, a special spin-off from WN MOVIE TALK PODCAST, I dive into another series of Christmas films that I have never seen before from my ever-expanding DVD collection. Christmas film number 2 is "Scrooge," starring Alastair Sim, with George Cole co-starring as his younger self. Join me as I watch it for the first time and share my review!

Scrooge (1951): Directed by Brian Desmond Hurst, "Scrooge" is a classic adaptation of Charles Dickens' timeless novella "A Christmas Carol." Alastair Sim delivers a memorable performance as Ebenezer Scrooge, the miserly old man who despises Christmas and all its joyful celebrations. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of the dire consequences of his selfishness and greed. Throughout the night, Scrooge is taken on a journey by three spirits—the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come—who reveal to him the impact of his actions on others and the grim future that awaits him if he does not change his ways. George Cole plays the young Ebenezer Scrooge, offering a glimpse into the events that shaped his bitter outlook on life. With its atmospheric setting, compelling performances, and powerful message of redemption, "Scrooge" is a cherished holiday classic that continues to inspire audiences of all ages.
