An all to seldom seen movie from 1948 starring Richard Attenborough (in the slickest wide-boy suit you ever saw!) and a cast of top actors of the period. Based on the 1945 700 page novel by Norman Collins, who ten years later was instrumental in the creation of ITV, this film is full of beautifully drawn characters and even if it's hard to believe that the real London was actually like this at that period (1938), the atmosphere is tremendous. The formidable cast consists of Alastair Sim (who virtually steals the film); Fay Compton; Susan Shaw; Stephen Murray; Joyce Carey, always remembered for her part in "Brief Encounter"; Andrew Crawford; Ivy St Helier (a wonderful creation!); Wylie Watson; Hugh Griffith; Eleanor Summerfield; Gladys Henson; Sydney Tafler; Fabia Drake; the ever-present Maurice Denham and a swathe of uncredited small-part performers of which only a couple went on to lasting fame, those being Arthur Lowe and John Gregson. I'm sorry to say I have never heard of any of the others. Even Leo Genn who narrates the story, is not credited in the titles. The story-line revolves around the occupants of a house in Dulcimer Street with Attenborough, hoping to impress Susan Shaw, accidentally causes the death of a previous girl-friend, Eleanor Summerfield, in a car-crash and tries to cover it up, but is later charged with murder. The relationship between Alastair Sim, a fake medium, and Joyce Carey is memorable... Norman Collins created the famous radio serial "Dick Barton: Special Agent" while Controller of the BBC's Light Programme and also set up "Woman's Hour" which ran from 7 October 1946 until the Light Programme became Radio Two in 1973.
One of the best movies to come out of mid-1940s British studios, this is a quite exceptional thriller - on many levels. A complex plot, acted by a superb cast all at the height of their performing abilities, which sets tensions of a personal nature (each character has a reason for jealousy) against the extra stresses of doodlebugs landing all around in late-wartime Britain and causing deep suspicion between everyone in a temporary cottage hospital when a postman, who's death on the operating table is revealed by a nurse to have been murder, is followed by the murder of the said nurse herself. Sidney Gilliat wrote the script (with Claud Gurney) from one of Christianna Brands' thrillers (she also wrote the children's book "Nurse Matilda" which came to the screen as "Nanny McPhee") and directed the film which he also produced with his partner Frank Launder.
Once seen, and knowing the culprit, on a second viewing one pays more attention to each character's dialogue and the timings of their actions. The tension during the operation on the postman is tremendously handled as you know he is about to die, and in the ‘Paul Jones' dance sequence we are given an opportunity to be suspicious of each and every character in turn for the possibility of his murder.
Alistair Sim gives one of his finest performances as the lugubrious, droll, but sharp-tongued, Inspector Cockrill, called in to solve the case, and delivers some memorable lines in his unique way with sideways glances from under his droopy eyelids and furrowed brow, but his brilliance in no way detracts from the performances of the rest of the cast. At the top of their form are Sally Gray, who hardly cracks a smile throughout, Rosamund John, Trevor Howard, Leo Genn, Megs Jenkins, Judy Campbell, Moore Marriott and a beautifully honed performance by Ronald Adam, so often excellent in smaller roles.
Some of my personal favourite moments of Sim's performance are his entrance, after 35 minutes of the film has passed, which is a delightful piece of comic timing; a line during an interview of suspects when no one can answer his question as he simply says "Very well. Pause for thirty seconds while you cook up an alibi..."; replying to the criticism of being a ‘flat-footed copper on the beat' he merely remarks "The police force does not have a monopoly of fallen arches - ask any chiropodist..."; in bed his expression while reading a thriller as he looks to the back of the book and discovers the criminal isn't who he suspects - pure delight! Towards the end of the film there is a brilliantly staged fight scene (as fight scenes should always be staged - unlike the one in recently posted "Moment of Indiscretion"!) - and Sim sitting on a stool watching and enjoying every moment of it. Wonderful!
Sharp eyed viewers will notice that glass on windows and doors have no war-time tape across them to prevent shattering in the case of a bomb explosion - a naughty oversight! And an interesting comment from a five-star review states "...watching this film (is) like sitting up late on a stormy night reading your first Agatha Christie novel..." - that just about says it all!

The plot pits Hornleigh and Bingham against a clever gang of Nazi espionage agents. Most of the action takes place aboard a speeding train, with our heroes never quite certain who can be trusted.

► Scrooge and Dickens' A Christmas Carol ► MORE: http://j.mp/SCROOGE
"Scrooge" is a 1951 film adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1843). It was released as "A Christmas Carol" in the United States. It starred Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge and was directed by Brian Desmond Hurst, with a screenplay by Noel Langley.

The film also features Kathleen Harrison in an acclaimed turn as Mrs. Dilber, Scrooge's charwoman. George Cole stars as the younger version of Scrooge, Hermione Baddeley as Mrs. Cratchit, Mervyn Johns as Bob Cratchit, Clifford Mollison as Samuel Wilkins, a debtor, Jack Warner as Mr. Jorkin, a role created for the film, Ernest Thesiger as Marley's undertaker and Patrick Macnee as young Jacob Marley. Michael Hordern plays Marley's ghost, as well as old Marley. Peter Bull serves as narrator, by reading portions of Dickens' words at the beginning and end of the film; he also appears on-screen as one of the businessmen cynically discussing Scrooge's funeral.
Ebenezer Scrooge (Alastair Sim) is seen leaving the London Exchange on his way to his counting house on Christmas Eve, 1843. Scrooge tells two other men of business that he has no intention of celebrating Christmas. He refuses leniency to a debtor who owes Scrooge money. Back at his place of business, Scrooge refuses a donation to two men collecting for the poor, suggesting that prisons and workhouses are sufficient for maintaining the poor, and that those who won't go would be better off dead. Scrooge's nephew, Fred (Brian Worth), invites Scrooge to dinner the next day, but Scrooge refuses, disparaging Fred for having married. Scrooge reluctantly gives his poor clerk Bob Cratchit (Mervyn Johns) the day off with pay, but expects him back all the earlier the day after.
After Scrooge dines alone in a seedy restaurant (where he refuses more bread when told he has to pay a halfpenny more for it), he goes home for the night. Scrooge sees the door-knocker turn into the face of his seven-years-dead partner, Jacob Marley (Michael Hordern). Scrooge's supper of gruel is interrupted by the ringing of bells before Marley appears as a ghost. Scrooge believes he is hallucinating until Marley howls in anguish and frustration. Marley warns Scrooge that he must repent or suffer Marley's unbearable fate: condemned to walk the earth forever, bound in the chains he "forged in life" by his greedy ways. He warns Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits; the first will arrive when the bell tolls one. Marley leaves to join other ghosts suffering the same torment. Frightened by the sight of the damned, Scrooge takes refuge in his bed.
At one in the morning, the Ghost of Christmas Past (Michael Dolan) arrives to show Scrooge scenes from his past. A young Scrooge (George Cole) is alone at school, unwanted by his father. His sister Fan (Carol Marsh) arrives to take him home, claiming their father has changed. Next, the Ghost shows Scrooge the annual Christmas party thrown by his fondly remembered employer, old Fezziwig (Roddy Hughes). Scrooge witnesses his proposal to his girlfriend, Alice (Rona Anderson). He is reminded that the lure of money from the sarcastic Mr. Jorkin (Jack Warner) seduced him to abandon his loyalty to Fezziwig. Scrooge relives the death of Fan; as she lay dying, he angrily walked away and refused to look after her son, Fred. The older Scrooge is overcome, and begs for her forgiveness. In partnership with Jorkin, young Scrooge befriends a young Jacob Marley (Patrick Macnee). Scrooge and Marley buy out Fezziwig's business and turn his warehouse into a counting house. Alice breaks off her engagement to Scrooge, feeling that love of money has replaced his love for her. Years later, Scrooge and Marley offer to rescue Jorkin's company after Jorkin embezzles the company's funds; they take control of the business and add it to their own. On Christmas Eve, 1836, Marley lay dying, but Scrooge will not visit his only friend during business hours. When Scrooge finally arrives, Marley, aware he will face eternal punishment for his avarice, tries to warn Scrooge before he dies. The Ghost reproaches Scrooge for taking Marley's money and house.
Just some of the actors that have played the role of Ebenezer Scrooge include:
Alastair Sim, Seymour Hicks, George C. Scott, Albert Finney, Jim Carrey, Patrick Stewart, Michael Caine, Tom Hanks, Kelsey Grammer, Tim Curry, Jack Palance, Simon Callow, Walter Matthau, Rich Little, Buddy Hackett, Robert Morse, Ray Coulthard, Mark Strickson, Kenny Doughty, Russell Thorndike, Kristopher Milnes, Vincent Fegan, Vanessa Williams, Bill Murray and so many more.

Alastair Sim
Alastair George Bell Sim, CBE (9 October 1900 – 19 August 1976), was a Scottish character actor who began his theatrical career at the age of thirty, but quickly became established as a popular West End performer, remaining so until his death in 1976. He also appeared in more than fifty British films, starting in 1935.
After a series of false starts, including a spell as a jobbing labourer and another as a clerk in a local government office, Sim's love of and talent for poetry reading won him several prizes and led to his appointment as a lecturer in elocution at the University of Edinburgh in 1925. He also ran his own private elocution and drama school, from which, with the help of the playwright John Drinkwater, he made the transition to the professional stage in 1930.
Despite his late start, Sim soon became well known on the London stage. A period of more than a year as a member of the Old Vic company brought him wide experience of playing Shakespeare and other classics, to which he returned throughout his career. In the modern repertoire, he formed a close professional association with the author James Bridie, which lasted from 1939 until the dramatist's death in 1951. Sim not only acted in Bridie's works, but directed them.

Richard Attenborough & Alastair Sim - London Belongs to Me
An all to seldom seen movie from 1948 starring Richard Attenborough (in the slickest wide-boy suit you ever saw!) and a cast of top actors of the period. Based on the 1945 700 page novel by Norman Collins, who ten years later was instrumental in the creation of ITV, this film is full of beautifully drawn characters and even if it's hard to believe that the real London was actually like this at that period (1938), the atmosphere is tremendous. The formidable cast consists of Alastair Sim (who virtually steals the film); Fay Compton; Susan Shaw; Stephen Murray; Joyce Carey, always remembered for her part in "Brief Encounter"; Andrew Crawford; Ivy St Helier (a wonderful creation!); Wylie Watson; Hugh Griffith; Eleanor Summerfield; Gladys Henson; Sydney Tafler; Fabia Drake; the ever-present Ma...

Alistair Sim, Sally Gray & Trevor Howard - Green for Danger
One of the best movies to come out of mid-1940s British studios, this is a quite exceptional thriller - on many levels. A complex plot, acted by a superb cast all at the height of their performing abilities, which sets tensions of a personal nature (each character has a reason for jealousy) against the extra stresses of doodlebugs landing all around in late-wartime Britain and causing deep suspicion between everyone in a temporary cottage hospital when a postman, who's death on the operating table is revealed by a nurse to have been murder, is followed by the murder of the said nurse herself. Sidney Gilliat wrote the script (with Claud Gurney) from one of Christianna Brands' thrillers (she also wrote the children's book "Nurse Matilda" which came to the screen as "Nanny McPhee") and direct...

I'm sorry to say I have never heard of any of the others. Even Leo Genn who narrates the story, is not credited in the titles. The story-line revolves around the occupants of a house in Dulcimer Street with Attenborough, hoping to impress Susan Shaw, accidentally causes the death of a previous girl-friend, Eleanor Summerfield, in a car-crash and tries to cover it up, but is later charged with murder. The relationship between Alastair Sim, a fake medium, and Joyce Carey is memorable... Norman Collins created the famous radio serial "Dick Barton: Special Agent" while Controller of the BBC's Light Programme and also set up "Woman's Hour" which ran from 7 October 1946 until the Light Programme became Radio Two in 1973.

One of the best movies to come out of mid-1940s British studios, this is a quite exceptional thriller - on many levels. A complex plot, acted by a superb cast all at the height of their performing abilities, which sets tensions of a personal nature (each character has a reason for jealousy) against the extra stresses of doodlebugs landing all around in late-wartime Britain and causing deep suspicion between everyone in a temporary cottage hospital when a postman, who's death on the operating table is revealed by a nurse to have been murder, is followed by the murder of the said nurse herself. Sidney Gilliat wrote the script (with Claud Gurney) from one of Christianna Brands' thrillers (she also wrote the children's book "Nurse Matilda" which came to the screen as "Nanny McPhee") and directed the film which he also produced with his partner Frank Launder.
Once seen, and knowing the culprit, on a second viewing one pays more attention to each character's dialogue and the timings of their actions. The tension during the operation on the postman is tremendously handled as you know he is about to die, and in the ‘Paul Jones' dance sequence we are given an opportunity to be suspicious of each and every character in turn for the possibility of his murder.
Alistair Sim gives one of his finest performances as the lugubrious, droll, but sharp-tongued, Inspector Cockrill, called in to solve the case, and delivers some memorable lines in his unique way with sideways glances from under his droopy eyelids and furrowed brow, but his brilliance in no way detracts from the performances of the rest of the cast. At the top of their form are Sally Gray, who hardly cracks a smile throughout, Rosamund John, Trevor Howard, Leo Genn, Megs Jenkins, Judy Campbell, Moore Marriott and a beautifully honed performance by Ronald Adam, so often excellent in smaller roles.
Some of my personal favourite moments of Sim's performance are his entrance, after 35 minutes of the film has passed, which is a delightful piece of comic timing; a line during an interview of suspects when no one can answer his question as he simply says "Very well. Pause for thirty seconds while you cook up an alibi..."; replying to the criticism of being a ‘flat-footed copper on the beat' he merely remarks "The police force does not have a monopoly of fallen arches - ask any chiropodist..."; in bed his expression while reading a thriller as he looks to the back of the book and discovers the criminal isn't who he suspects - pure delight! Towards the end of the film there is a brilliantly staged fight scene (as fight scenes should always be staged - unlike the one in recently posted "Moment of Indiscretion"!) - and Sim sitting on a stool watching and enjoying every moment of it. Wonderful!
Sharp eyed viewers will notice that glass on windows and doors have no war-time tape across them to prevent shattering in the case of a bomb explosion - a naughty oversight! And an interesting comment from a five-star review states "...watching this film (is) like sitting up late on a stormy night reading your first Agatha Christie novel..." - that just about says it all!

"Scrooge" is a 1951 film adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1843). It was released as "A Christmas Carol" in the United States. It starred Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge and was directed by Brian Desmond Hurst, with a screenplay by Noel Langley.
Vintage Christmas Films and Cartoons! ▻ http://XmasFLIX.com
▻ http://facebook.com/XmasFLIX ▻ http://twitter.com/XmasFLIX
The film also features Kathleen Harrison in an acclaimed turn as Mrs. Dilber, Scrooge's charwoman. George Cole stars as the younger version of Scrooge, Hermione Baddeley as Mrs. Cratchit, Mervyn Johns as Bob Cratchit, Clifford Mollison as Samuel Wilkins, a debtor, Jack Warner as Mr. Jorkin, a role created for the film, Ernest Thesiger as Marley's undertaker and Patrick Macnee as young Jacob Marley. Michael Hordern plays Marley's ghost, as well as old Marley. Peter Bull serves as narrator, by reading portions of Dickens' words at the beginning and end of the film; he also appears on-screen as one of the businessmen cynically discussing Scrooge's funeral.
Ebenezer Scrooge (Alastair Sim) is seen leaving the London Exchange on his way to his counting house on Christmas Eve, 1843. Scrooge tells two other men of business that he has no intention of celebrating Christmas. He refuses leniency to a debtor who owes Scrooge money. Back at his place of business, Scrooge refuses a donation to two men collecting for the poor, suggesting that prisons and workhouses are sufficient for maintaining the poor, and that those who won't go would be better off dead. Scrooge's nephew, Fred (Brian Worth), invites Scrooge to dinner the next day, but Scrooge refuses, disparaging Fred for having married. Scrooge reluctantly gives his poor clerk Bob Cratchit (Mervyn Johns) the day off with pay, but expects him back all the earlier the day after.
After Scrooge dines alone in a seedy restaurant (where he refuses more bread when told he has to pay a halfpenny more for it), he goes home for the night. Scrooge sees the door-knocker turn into the face of his seven-years-dead partner, Jacob Marley (Michael Hordern). Scrooge's supper of gruel is interrupted by the ringing of bells before Marley appears as a ghost. Scrooge believes he is hallucinating until Marley howls in anguish and frustration. Marley warns Scrooge that he must repent or suffer Marley's unbearable fate: condemned to walk the earth forever, bound in the chains he "forged in life" by his greedy ways. He warns Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits; the first will arrive when the bell tolls one. Marley leaves to join other ghosts suffering the same torment. Frightened by the sight of the damned, Scrooge takes refuge in his bed.
At one in the morning, the Ghost of Christmas Past (Michael Dolan) arrives to show Scrooge scenes from his past. A young Scrooge (George Cole) is alone at school, unwanted by his father. His sister Fan (Carol Marsh) arrives to take him home, claiming their father has changed. Next, the Ghost shows Scrooge the annual Christmas party thrown by his fondly remembered employer, old Fezziwig (Roddy Hughes). Scrooge witnesses his proposal to his girlfriend, Alice (Rona Anderson). He is reminded that the lure of money from the sarcastic Mr. Jorkin (Jack Warner) seduced him to abandon his loyalty to Fezziwig. Scrooge relives the death of Fan; as she lay dying, he angrily walked away and refused to look after her son, Fred. The older Scrooge is overcome, and begs for her forgiveness. In partnership with Jorkin, young Scrooge befriends a young Jacob Marley (Patrick Macnee). Scrooge and Marley buy out Fezziwig's business and turn his warehouse into a counting house. Alice breaks off her engagement to Scrooge, feeling that love of money has replaced his love for her. Years later, Scrooge and Marley offer to rescue Jorkin's company after Jorkin embezzles the company's funds; they take control of the business and add it to their own. On Christmas Eve, 1836, Marley lay dying, but Scrooge will not visit his only friend during business hours. When Scrooge finally arrives, Marley, aware he will face eternal punishment for his avarice, tries to warn Scrooge before he dies. The Ghost reproaches Scrooge for taking Marley's money and house.
Just some of the actors that have played the role of Ebenezer Scrooge include:
Alastair Sim, Seymour Hicks, George C. Scott, Albert Finney, Jim Carrey, Patrick Stewart, Michael Caine, Tom Hanks, Kelsey Grammer, Tim Curry, Jack Palance, Simon Callow, Walter Matthau, Rich Little, Buddy Hackett, Robert Morse, Ray Coulthard, Mark Strickson, Kenny Doughty, Russell Thorndike, Kristopher Milnes, Vincent Fegan, Vanessa Williams, Bill Murray and so many more.

Alistair Sim Trio - In the Street Interview, Brooklyn Jazz/Rock Musicians
Alistair Sim Trio is a Brooklyn based 3 piece musician combo including Alistair - Guitar, Nick Tardif - Base and Joshua Fleischmann - Drums. Occasionally a keyboardist or other musicians sit in with this trio of exquisite versatile musicians. The trio plays what I would call a Jazz based mix of traditional jazz, rock mixed jazz, up beat and experimental music with a wide range of influences. Depending on the gig, you may hear one of these styles or a variation depending on the mood. The individual talents of each musician are brought out during performance through solo interludes, executed to blend together perfectly and play off one another.
