Plot
"There's no Christmas Carol quite like this 1951 British version." -Leonard Maltin

The producers are pleased to present this holiday classic, fully restored and re-mastered from the original 35mm negative discovered in England. Some of Britain's best filmmakers united to produce one of England's greatest classics in this, the most well-known and critically acclaimed version of Charles Dickens' timeless tale. With an authentic, dramatic script by later-director Noel Langley, a superb performance by Alastair Sim and company, and under the careful direction of Brian Desmond Hurst, the 1951 filmed version of A Christmas Carol emerges as an outstanding cinematic presentation. Released in the U.S. by United Artists.
