Description/Synopsis:
Brian Desmond directs this adaptation of Dickens' classic tale about a miser who unexpectedly discovers the Christmas spirit. Ebenezer Scrooge (Alastair Sim) is so mean-spirited that he even begrudges having to give his clerk, Bob Cratchit (Mervyn Johns), the day off for Christmas. Alone at home on Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his late partner, Jacob Marley (Michael Hordern), who warns him that he will be visited by three spirits in an attempt to make him change his hard-hearted ways.

Multiple item purchases/Shipping discounts:
Multiple item purchases can be combined to make a single payment and to receive a shipping discount.
Overseas buyers (especially US buyers) please read:
This is a Region B/2 release that will probably NOT play on most players locked to another Region Code. An example: When you are trying to play the disc in the US and you have standard Region A equipment, it will probably NOT start and you will get an error message. When you get that error message you will need a region free or multiregion player to play it. Please check compatibility of your equipment, before you place an order as refunds cannot be given due to incompatibility. If you're unsure whether you can play the Blu-Ray in your country, please contact me.
Possible customs charges (applies only to buyers from non-EU countries):
A customs declaration form will be included with the shipment. Whether or not you're required to pay customs fees depends on the item value and the customs rules of your country.Returns and Refunds:
Unless not stated otherwise in the description the items are new and sealed. Items may be returned within 30 days after receipt for a full refund of the initial payment (item price and delivery charges). Items have to be returned in the same condition they have been received. That means that new and sealed DVDs, Blu-Rays, CDs or other media can only be returned as long as they are still sealed. By breaking the seal on those items the unconditional right to return them and to cancel a purchase expires. Unless not agreed otherwise the buyer has to cover return postage and is responsible for chosing an appropriate shipping method. When an item is faulty it can be returned for an exchange and the return delivery cost will be refunded through PayPal. When an item is not as described (objectionable inaccuracies being limited to region coding, available languages and subtitles) it can be returned for a full refund including return delivery cost. Please note that incompatibility with the equipment (e.g. wrong region or buyer ordered a Blu-Ray instead of a DVD) does not qualify as deficiency.
