The original release title of the Alistair Sim version, in America was "A Christmas Carol." "Scrooge" was the release title of the 1935 version which starred Seymour Hicks and the British release of the Sim version. When the Sim version was rereleased in the 1960s it was "A Christmas Carol", probably to avoid confusion with the Hicks version.The 1938 version, which starred Reginald Owen, and the 1984 George C. Scott version were also titled "A Christmas Carol." The one that starred Albert Finney was titled "Scrooge." The one that starred Mr. Magoo was "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol." The one with Mickey Mouse was "Mickey's Christmas Carol." AND ETC>
There have been dozens of remakes of that wonderful Dicken's story. My favorite is the Sims version, followed by the Scott version. The Hicks and Owen versions are similar and very good, although somewhat short. The Finney version is excellent, if you like musicals, and has a wonderful scene where Scrooge descends into Hell (cut from many tv prints). Finney was only in his 30s in 1970 but made a very convincing Scrooge.
