Classics Film Night @ Good Company Books

Join the Curious Monkey Film Club for an evening of cinematic charm!

We’re inviting curious and passionate film lovers to join us for a screening of A Christmas Carol (1951), Charles Dickens’s beloved tale brought to life in one of cinema’s most celebrated adaptations. Watch Alastair Sim’s unforgettable performance as Ebenezer Scrooge and relive a story of redemption that still warms hearts today.

With this film, we journey from the 1930s to the 1950s — a cinematic time travel, as if we were one of Dickens’s Ghosts of Christmas

Whether you're revisiting this timeless gem or watching it for the first time, you're in for a treat.

About the film:

Ebenezer Scrooge, a curmudgeonly, miserly businessman, has no time for sentimentality and largely views Christmas as a waste of time. However, this Christmas Eve, he will be visited by three spirits who will show him the error of his ways.
