Sorry Ranger, that was Jack who mentioned Trading Places, a film I like but never equated it with Christmas before.

Alistair Sim made a formidable Ebeneezer Scrooge but I must maintain that the George C Scott film has more of the atmosphere of the story. It also gives standout prefpomances by the secondaries making their scenes vignettes as emsemble pieces. The final scene with Woodward as the Ghost of Christmas Present is dynamic. The children of ignorance and want always affects me. Frank Findley as Morley nearly steals the show and sometimes I think he does.
