1951 A Christmas Carol is a Christmas Classic
25 November 2023
This Christmas Carol movie is a classic. It released in 1951 and it is the second of many adaptations of the story by Charles Dickens (the first released in 1938). With how old it is, and how good rated it is here on IMBD, it can be an origin for modern day Christmas movies. It may not necessarily have the best camera quality with the time it released but it is still a classic. As of writing this review this is the only Christmas Carol movie I've watched besides the biographical movie about Dickens writing the story. The 2009 Jim Carrey version is 10 minutes longer than this version and the 1984 is 14 minutes longer. The 1938 version is 17 minutes shorter. I believe that the 1938 version is in black and white. That's all the difference between the different versions I could pick out as of now. I feel like this is an alright movie to help get into the Christmas spirit.
