Last night I was restless; so, with the wife fast asleep at my side, I spent the majority of my evening rereading Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol (in Prose, Being a Ghost-Story of Christmas). I must admit, it filled me with the holiday spirit (pun intended); so much so, I've dedicated the day to watching the vast catalog of A Christmas Carol films (with smoldering pipe in hand, of course)."There's more of gravy than of grave about you..."
It has been interesting viewing the unique interpretations of the Dickens' classic in succession, admiring the evolution of the tale (and film as an art-form) as time marches on.
I'm curious, what are fellow forum members opinions and preferred versions of A Christmas Carol (if you have one)? Perhaps a favorite director, or actor?
