Holiday movies are being celebrated, and scheduled, this month on TCM – and the party begins with this 1951 absolute classic adaptation of the Charles Dickens tale. Alastair Sims stars as Ebenezer Scrooge, with Michael Hordern as Jacob Marley, Mervyn Johns as Bob Cratchit, and Glyn Dearman as little Tiny Tim. Afterward, at 9:45 p.m. ET, comes another early film adaptation of the same story: 1935’s Scrooge, starring Seymour Hicks in the title role.
