Love this film, the penultimate Christmas Movie! Alistair Sim and George Cole combine to make this simply the best version by far, though it has to be in B & W.

this is christmas all wrapped in one movie .remember watching it when i was about 7 (1969) takes me back to my child hood Christmas's. tried the colour version but not the same.Try watching it with loved ones early on Christmas morning before unwrapping your pressies 🎅🤶

Dear Mr. Keatley, You mean, only one more Christmas Movie will ever be made?!? (“Penultimate” has nothing to do with quality; it means second-to-last.)
