 A Christmas Carol (Alistair Sim)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Sim is ably assisted by the entire cast perform their role with amazing realism, particularly magnificent character actress Kathleen Harrison as Scrooge’s down-trodden housekeeper, who is the first to witness Scrooge’s change of heart: her reaction when he gives her a farthing as a Christmas present is absolutely heart-rending.

 Welcome to MVC.co.uk Family Films Scrooge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Alistair Sim's portrayal of Scrooge has yet to be matched both as the miserly banker and the light-hearted redeemed benefactor, a true character performance.

Veteran stage actor Alistair Sim is perfectly cast as Ebenezer, who is less a selfish old man than a sensitive young man made hard by loss and sorrow.

 dOc DVD Review: Stage Fright (1950)
He tells her the wife, stage siren Charlotte Inwood (Marlene Dietrich) was the real killer, albeit accidentally, and he was merely attempting to cover up the crime for her when he was spotted by a maid.
Eve, an actress in training, nursing a crush on the wronged man, aggrees to help him, first by hiding him at her father's (Alistair Sim) house, then by posing as Inwood's maid and trying to dig up dirt on the crime, which she believes may not have been an accident at all.

Arthur Lowe and Alistair Sim are both magnificent as Tucker the butler and the bishop, and the rest of the cast are all strong, if occasionally slightly hammy.
I would hesitate before recommending this film to strangers- personally, I wouldn't say it's as good as its most fervent supporters seem to believe, but neither would Barnes- which might seem like cowardice, but also means that I won't get irate e-mails saying 'I bought this film on your recommendation, and I hated it'.
