	Britmovie - Alastair Sim Biography
		Alastair Sim began life as the academic he was often to play on screen.
		Sim came to the fore with the three popular Inspector Hornleigh comedy thrillers made between 1938 and 1941, they also marked the first major association between himself and the filmmaking partnership of Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, later to give him several of his best roles.
		Sim remains an imperishable Scrooge, convincing whether in a state of panic over the visitation of ghosts, or expressing childlike glee when converted to the joys of the season.

		It was after this that Sim's potential as a character -- as opposed to a caricature -- became apparent, beginning with his eccentric role as the writer of boys' fiction in Hue and Cry (1947), regarded as the first "Ealing comedy" and famed for its richly atmospheric photography of London's bomb-sites.
		Sim's debut was in a bit part in Paul Robeson's Othello at the Savoy in 1930.
		Sim's success in the postwar period was down to his being the man for the hour.

	Alastair Sim (1900-1976)
		Alastair went to school in Bruntisfield and to Gillespie's School, where his father was a JP and a governor of the school.
		Alastair had a cameo as a phony medium duping a gullible old lady who is trying to communicate with the spirit of the father of Edward Everett Horton, a mild mannered and naive reverend who is the new secretary of a country squire.
		Alastair has several wonderful scenes, including one where he's in the lair of the gang and, answering the phone, pretends to be one of them, not realizing Inspector Hornleigh is on the other end of the line, disguising his voice.

		Both Alastair Sim and Scott breath life into the character of Scrooge and make him a three-dimensional personality whose life and fate take on far greater meaning than they do in the hands of other actors who have taken on this role.
		Sim, of course, became the definitive Scrooge by first taking the character seriously and by portraying Scrooge as more than a simplistic cardboard cutout.
		When I think of my childhood memories of the Christmas holidays one of the first things that come to mind is Alastair Sim and "A Christmas Carol." It was a family ritual and as rituals go, it wasn't really Christmas until the family gathered around the television to watch it.

		By far the best one the Alastair Sim version which is titled "A Christmas Carol" but also shows up occassionally as "Scrooge" (the opening credits show "A Christmas Carol" and the closing credits show "Scrooge").
		As a young boy, I was very much impressed by the story and especially by Alastair Sim's portrayal of Ebeneezer Scrooge.
		His sneering looks of disdain and rude rebuttals are enough to give you the measure of the man. Likewise, after his visit with the three Christmas spirits, his metamorphasis as a redeemed believer is a joy to watch.

		However, most people seem to agree that the definitive Scrooge - the one closest to Dickens' original conception - is probably Alastair Sim in the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol, which was originally released in England as Scrooge.
		All in all, the Alastair Sim version has a slight edge over the Reginald Owen version in terms of production value but the latter does possess a more menacing supernatural quality.
		Still, there are many haunting sequences in the Sim version too, particularly Michael Hordern's first appearance as the wailing, tormented ghost of Jacob Marley.

		This is the desert-island choice of the many versions of A Christmas Carol, with a magnificent, full-bodied portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge by Alastair Sim that leaves everyone else in the dust.
		Lean and direct, this film's version of the story wastes no time trying to impress viewers with the magical nature of the spirits' visitations.
		Director Brian Desmond Hurst keeps the focus on Scrooge's life story, beautifully simplifying and underscoring the theme of lost women with a haunting musical refrain from the folk song "Barbara Allen." Sim's commitment to the role is at times astonishing; his Scrooge's Christmas-morning ecstasy is a marvel of giddy techn...

	Alastair Sim
		One of his most distinctive roles was as the headmistress in The Belles of St Trinian's: all the familiar Sim gestures are present, but softened and feminised.
		With the advent of the swinging sixties the film roles dried up but he'd always had a thriving stage career so he was rarely out of work.
		From 1967-71 he did three series of the sit-com Misleading Cases as the judge presiding over Roy Dotrice's bizarre legal complaints (only four episodes of this series is known to exist).
