this was filmed in shrewsbury in shropshire uk-just down the road from where i lived as a teenager-scrooge's grave is still there today in the churchyard!..my friend tim and i watched them filming the scene where scrooge walks to fred's house at the end,i remember being impressed by the cameras and all the fake snow,it is still my fave version of a christmas carol!

When I was a kid in the 70's I always looked forward to the Rankin Bass specials. "T'Was the Night Before Christmas" just kind of vanished after around the early 80's and an admin in the Facebook Rankin Bass group shared a link with me and I enjoyed it as much as I did as a kid. "The Little Drummer Boy" desperately needs some restoration work; it's a terrible transfer on Blu Ray. "Rudolph" was my favorite as a kid, but when I got older I became a big fan of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". I think it's clever and love it. I saw "Rudolph's Shiny New Year" when it was first broadcast and remember nothing about it. And I love your outros.

I've only seen the theatrical cut. A friend just sent me the Blu Ray of the Donner Cut and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I saw this only once, theatrically. I remember laughing out loud as Piggy's description of Scrooge: "He's mean...and odious...and poorly dressed." I know it's much loved by many viewers and I need to see it again. Have you seen the 1970 musical with Albert Finney? It's my third favorite. I'm not keen on musicals, but it works for me overall.

My favorite version. Sim plays Scrooge as just not a mean man, but a bitter and resentful man who realizes his errors and now can't do anything about it and takes his resentment out on all people around him. HIs attitude is perfectly presented in his interaction with Cratchit in the Past sequence. He asks Cratchit if he expects "the whole day off tomorrow." Cratchit says yes, if it's convenient. Scrooge responds, "Every year you say the same thing, and every year it's just an inconvenient as the last." It is shot like a horror film and that feels right. So many good character actors, including Hermione Baddely and Patric Macnee. A Guinea, is I think, the equivalent of 1 pound, 1 shilling in the money of the time...quite a lot of cash!

Just watching this tonight, believe it or not. I saw the first broadcast in 1984. I was a sophomore in high school and it was real event, much publicized. My second favorite version after the 1951 Sim version. Edward Woodward is the best Ghost of Christmas Present...sarcastic and gives Scrooge no refuge. Warner seems an unlikely Cratchit but plays it beautifully; he seems to respect Scrooge and believe in the good person hiding in there but takes his lumps with a beaten-down yet strong attitude. Angela Pleasence is Donald's daughter, by the way, and she's my favorite Ghost of Christmas Past...snarky and condescending and I love their interactions. Just subscribed, I sense a very good channel here!

Okay, I'm psyched. Thanks for touching on so many important aspects of the story. Perhaps I've avoided this because George C. Scott looks so entirely unpleasant in the promo still. Simms, as you mentioned, has charm even when he's being nasty. But I'll definitely watch this soon with a more open mind. Thanks again. By the way, Eric Norcross has done some really fine film analyses while being a director of small budget films himself. His podcasts are fun. His "43 Degrees North" was filmed and previewed here (I have connections with Chebeague Island), and he's a warm and caring person who believes in community. I also love his way of telling stories in film. www.youtube.com/@EricNorcross

This version pleased me so much I haven't felt the need to see any others - to my own impoverishment I suppose. You hit on all the reasons I like it, as well as reminding me of a few of its weaknesses. I am now very interested both in going back to watch the Muppet version (I've always loved the first Muppet Movie) and in seeing next week what you chose as number one and why. Good job, KC. Story Telling is indeed a wonderful thing. (I'm a baby boomer, graduated high school in '71)

What I love about this version of A Christmas Carol is that it is a faithful adaptation of Charles Dicken's story that can be watched by young and old alike. Its not been dumbed down for a younger audience, its costumes are so wonderful (Abby Cox did a video of how much she loved the detail put into the costumes) and its a lovely moral story. Its a great movie, its certainly one of my favourite versions.

I think this version is underrated. To my knowledge, it's never mentioned in the same breath as say the Muppet Carol, or the ones with Alastair Sim & George C Scott. This version of A Christmas Carol deserves to be on blu ray after being stuck on the DVD format since the early 2000s.

I have another idea for you make a video about super villainess aka fimale supervillains in the public domain

On comicvine the largest list of Public Domain superheroes still resides

First and foremost, Charles Dickens' version of "A Christmas Carol" wasn't the original. He commercialized and secularized a Spiritualist redemption novella co-authored by an American couple named Mathew Franklin Whittier and Abby Poyen Whittier. I know it sounds crazy, but it makes perfect sense if you have all the evidence (it took me 15 years of research to discover it all).

This comic trailer looks awesome.

I didn't even know there was a Christmas Carol movie starring Patrick Stewart.I will definitely check this one out.Good video KC.

I don't suppose you'd be interested in some other public domain comic book villains from the Golden Age that I've dug up?

I am interested in knowing about monsters and kaiju from the 50s and 60s that it could be in the public domain. Just let me know.

I have written down heroes of public domain, and I’ve created a few original characters of my own. it’s going to be an interesting mix of steam punk sci-fi/action adventure superheroes all set in the 19th century

I love this. So much better than these big youtube channels

Here’s mine! I don’t really know if it’s truly Western because it has lots of other themes. Anyways to sum it up now, it’s just… okay this: *The heroes!* A classic crime fighting outlaw who rides on horseback, a scientist who specializes in physics and also knows navigation, a air force pilot, a middle aged pilot who acts as the “crazy wild dude” trope I rarely see in media, a gang of military veterans. _The Villains!_ A corrupt sheriff, a big company that wants to hyper-industrialize the whole area, an organized group of bad outlaws, some terrorists, cultists… and most of all!!!! *_A giant Eldritch cosmic horror that is so large it takes up half the sky and is hell-bent on consuming the entire planet as it grows through consuming the world!!!_*

King Bros Productions Inc. had to set up a British company King Bros. Productions Ltd. to qualify for the quota benefits of a British production. Likewise M-G-M British Studios in Borehamwood, although owned by M-G-M/Lowes in the USA, was legally a British studio.

Yongary is one of my favourite kaiju not from the big 4 kaiju series (Godzilla , Ultraman , Gamera and King Kong). Also great video you’ve earns yourself a new subscriber :)

Korean Godzilla

I’ve actually begun writing my own Green Mask story. Holding close to the Shelby version of GM. But in the modern day

Awesome video hope it pops off

Are theyre any plans on making more public domain superheroes and supervillans ?

It's inspiring to see where every independent publisher begins, KC. Your commitment to "The Sledge" is truly admirable, and I think it's fantastic that you've started building contacts and a foundation to build upon. Your video was great, by the way! Thank you for sharing your journey here. It's truly intriguing, and I encourage you to continue creating content like this.

Sledge is awesome! I bought all three issues!

Wow, the cover artwork is on point! That "Wait'll you get a load of me!" line is giving off major Batman vibes. Sending all the good vibes your way for issue number 3, KC!

tbh captain america 1944 gets wayyy to much hate like the serial is fine

Good vid, but the audio is all over the place. When in the room audio is good, but then goes way too loud when speaking over the footage. I found myself attempting to adjust the volume several times only to have to change it again.

Bra, Vampira clearly appears from a crept and not "no where" and she's filmed on a blacked out set and not location because she's a badass vampire and not a "zombie". She as a vampire could be casting a cloak of darkness around her. In any case it was a clear artist choose of the director and you act like it was some mistake. Gave you a like, thanks for introducing me to this fine film.

If you ask me, this is the best 50's or 60's Movie, second to only, It's A Wonderful Life or Night Of The Living Dead.

Please make a big video about daikaiju, namely giant monsters that are in the public domain; they can be used for your films, games and cartoons for free.

I hope you and your family are doing well,KC.If you want take time off to deal with family matters.It's cool with me bruh.Take all the time you need.

The art in this book looks amazing.

Anguirus and Godzilla should fight against sea creature

Erik Larsen has a character called Super Patriot and last I heard the NFL hasn't sued him. So yeah Pat Patriot is fine.

Dai Kaiju, is the correct term for giant monsters

I like adding a disturbing realism to my short Western stories. Like everything feels visceral and genuinely realistic, and the characters are not generally good or even halfway decent people.

Ultraman Jack vs. Zontar!

I think Courtney Cox should be it again.

Agree with everything except Battle Cat. I prefer the original, but that's just me. Great 🎥👍

Namor has a debatable version that is useless but is public domain

Could this be a yearly series for you?
