A Christmas Carol

208.255.94.47

"A Christmas Carol" starring Allistair Sim, without a doubt. You must obtain the complete original version (where he gives the best cry in film history upon seeing his gravestone). I have actually seen broadcast copies where that scene has been heavily cropped -- why?? And do NOT see the colorized version; to me nothing, destroys the overall mood and impact more than colorizing a great film, such as this. Also, I have seen a broadcast copy where the sound has been 'enhanced' by digitization -- now, this may have removed the background hiss, but it made the actors sound as if the film was shot in silence and they added in their lines later from an anechoic chamber. I had to watch something else. Fortunately, years ago I video taped an uncut broadcast of the original from a PBS station; needless to say, I consider that tape somewhat valuable.
