Label
In 1951 Alastair Sim, took on ‘his first great dramatic comedy role’ as Scrooge and was praised for ‘giving a performance that will survive the test of time as successfully as has Dickens’s original story’. Producer George Minter recognised the demand for period dramas in the 1950s and followed this with the first ‘talkie’ production of The Pickwick Papers.
