This is now in my top five favorite movies of all time. The actor playing Charles Dickens is such an immediately likable character conveyor. His friend is well played too. The whole thing is so nerve-wracking even though we know already that he at some point got the book published.

Every year during the holiday season I watch a Christmas Carol, and I love it. Alastair Sim version is the best "Google does not sell it ?". However watching the film or reading the book I never knew the back story, what it took for Dickens to come up with this classic, how close it came from never happening. I do not know how much of this story is biographical or fictional but I was on the edge of my seat watching this. Next Christmas I will watch this, and follow it up with the "A Christmas Carol DVD with Alastair Sim".

It makes me believe in strength Christmas even more than I did before. I will watch this movie over and over.
