Tonight Dale and I watched the 1951 film Scrooge starring Alastair Sim. It's, of course, a movie version of Charles Dickens's book A Christmas Carol. Alastair Sim is perfect as Mr. Scrooge and Kathleen Harrison is classic as Mrs. Dibler, Scrooge's charwoman. It was fun to see Hermione Baddeley as Mrs. Cratchit. She was a great character actress that I first remember as one of the maids in Disney's Mary Poppins. Her longest running role was as Mrs. Naugatuck who was one of the maids on the TV show Maude. I looked her up on IMDB and found out she played a number of different guest roles on a number of my favorite TV shows from childhood including Magnum P.I., Fantasy Island, Wonder Woman, The Love Boat, The Bionic Woman, Little House on the Prairie, Batman, Bewitched, and Charlie's Angels.
