Entertainment Reviews:
...This flick is not only the gold standard against which all other holiday films should be measured, but also one of the greatest films ever made, period...
Entertainment Weekly
[T]his is the definitive choice among all the feature versions....Alastair Sim, gimlet-eyed and gleefully acidulous, is Scrooge...
Wall Street Journal
Rating: A+ --
The cinematography is uniformly strong with gorgeous shadows, lighting and atmosphere.

A sturdy 1951 British mounting of the Dickens tale, with Alastair Sim contributing a definitive Scrooge.

This is easily the best screen version of the much loved yuletide tale.

All depends, therefore, in the making of a film from this story, on the re-creation of this atmosphere in dramatic terms. It cannot be said that Brian Desmond Hurst has been altogether successful in this respect.
