Faithful Rendition
PostedNovember 9, 2009

from Calverton, NY
The most faithful of all the movie versions, including Alistair Sims'. Jacob Marley was truly terrifying in his efforts to get Scrooge to "come around" to the desperate peril awaiting him. Yes, the movie is dark, but so is the premise of the movie, that our humanity is snuffed out by greed and that our "business" is the common welfare, no different today than in 1842. No cutesy stuff, except for a brief turn in some street sewer tunnels. A brilliant interpretation that I am sure Charles Dickens would approve.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
