Event information

Join us as we get our December programme underway with a bonified Christmas classic.

This is easily the best screen version of the much loved yuletide tale. The ever-versatile Alastair Sim is impeccable as the miser who comes to see the error of his ways through the promptings of the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future. The supporting cast is also excellent. Highlights include Mervyn Johns and Hermione Baddeley as an endearing Bob and Mrs. Cratchit, Michael Hordern's vividly tortured if melodramatic Jacob Marley, Michael Dolen's gentle yet stern Ghost of Christmas Past (portrayed as an old man), Francis de Wolff's jolly yet dignified Ghost of Christmas Present, C. Konarski's eerie Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, George Cole's Byronically brooding Young Scrooge, Kathleen Harrison's colorful Cockney charwoman Mrs. Dilber, and Ernest Thesiger (The Bride of Frankenstein) in a cameo as a thieving undertaker. Richard Addinsell's alternately haunting and charming musical score and the atmospheric camerawork complete the film's artistry.

Often hailed as Northern Ireland’s greatest ever director, Brian Desmond Hurst went from working class East Belfast to Golden Age Hollywood and worked with greats such as Alec Guinness and James Mason. Starring a never-better Sim, Hurst’s Scrooge is a delicious and lively adaptation of the most famous Christmas tale.

Put the Christmas shopping on hold for the afternoon and join us for this big screen treat.
