Michael Hordern is a less successful Marley, certainly when he visits as a ghost, but the three Ghosts of Christmas are just as you imagine - Christmas Past is a wise old sage, Christmas Present is a jovial party-giver. Sim's reactions are priceless and he settles down well in the role. Brian Desmond Hurst directs a fine cast, headed by the incomparable Alastair Sim (a man who can play both malevolent and humorous) as the about-to-be-redeemed Ebenezer Scrooge. Many adaptations of Dickens' Christmas book have been and gone, but this is generally thought to be one of the definitive films of the story.
