I have loved Alastair Sim's version of "A Christmas Carol" for as long as I can remember; the film certainly belongs in every collection. Sim was essentially a comic actor, which is why his portrayal of Ebeneezer Scrooge is so believable. Sim's Scrooge is a basically good and trusting man who has allowed himself to be hardened by some unfortunate life experiences. But as he is visited on Christmas Eve night by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, we see Scrooge's cold-hearted facade gradually stripped away until he wakes up on Christmas morning a giddy, light-hearted "child." This scene is the movie's emotional peak; it is cathartic to watch Sim as he dances joyfully around his bedroom. Afterwards, it is touching to watch him try to right his past wrongs by accepting his nephew Fred's invitation to Christmas dinner (while the lovely Scottish ballad "Barbara Allen" plays in the background), and by promising to help the poor family of his clerk, Bob Cratchit. Though Sim dominates the film, the other cast members are fine indeed, while the score, by Richard Addinsell, evokes the Dickensian mood superbly (particularly memorable are the dark, pounding chords heard during the opening credits). The sets and lighting, though rather low-budget for a 1951 movie, also contribute to the atmosphere of Victorian grittiness. For me Alastair Sim's is the definitive version of "A Christmas Carol," while Sim himself will always BE Ebeneezer Scrooge.

My fave cologne is Escada original which is no longer made. When I ran out, I switched over to this one. It has similarities to the escada that I liked. I have since found another bottle of escada but I use this sometimes so my bottle will last longer. I've tried quite a few scents over the years but many are too sweet or too woodsy, etc. I think this one is a nice balance to it.

This whole line is a joke. Any review with more than 1 star is OBVIOUSLY a person trying to sell this stuff ( hence the email addresses added to the end of the "great" reviews) i paid over $60 for 4 masks and it did absolutely NOTHING to my skin. DON'T waste your hard earned money on this garbage. Everyone is trying to make a buck off this crap and i somehow got roped into it. Ill stick to the SK-II masks they actually work!

Bought as a birthday present for a four year old. Did not leave her side for the first week afterwards. Great toy.

Many others have said this as better than I could, but Quicken 2014 is useless. Actions that took me a minute in Quicken 2010 have become hour long chores, with texting with Quicken Help representatives.

Bought these overpriced mudguards. They fit perfect and went on easy w/o taking any wheels off. Just turn the steering wheel when putting front mud flap on. Reason for 4 stars is the price, otherwise perfect.
