I just watched Stage Fright (Alfred Hitchcock, 1950) and rated it 8/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_Fright_%281950_film%29?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #StageFright #AlfredHitchcock #JaneWyman #MarleneDietrich #MichaelWilding #RichardTodd #AlastairSim
School For Scoundrels has dated as badly as some of the worst Carry On #movies have. It has left such a bad taste that I am going to have to abort the plan for more #AlastairSim and find something completely different.
Hmmm.
My vote for the best telling of the Scrooge tale, is the 1951 version staring Alastair Sim.

IT IS TIME!
Do I prefer the 1951 film adaptation of A Christmas Carol (SCROOGE) simply because it was my late Father's favorite? Maybe. But whatever my reason for loving this movie, I'm once again indulging in my #ChristmasEve tradition.

@grange85 Our family (kids now 30 and 25) watch this every year, a Christmas tradition, although my wife and I prefer the #AlastairSim version.
Which is your favourite adaptation of A Christmas Carol? Mine is the 1951 Alastair Sim version. Here is Bela Lugosi and his wife at the British premiere after his UK tour of Dracula.
