My Christmas revolves around this movie. Its been a family tradition to watch this movie every year since its release in 1951. We begin our season watching Miracle on 34th Street on the American Thanksgiving (odd for a Canadian…I know), and end the season with Scrooge. Its so fabulous I can barely begin to explain!
It is by far the BEST adaptation of Dicken’s Christmas Carol I have ever seen (although Bugs Bunny is a close second…heh!). Alistair Sim is positively brilliant in the role.
One word of caution to you though. I’d avoid watching the colourized version, unless it is being shown on TV. It appears to have been colourized for television broadcast only, so you will find on your DVD that there are odd pauses. Go and get yourself a beautiful Black & White—as God intended! (heh)
I hated it as a child, but now as an adult, I find I like this movie more and more and more. Every year I get something different out of it.
Its Wonderful!
