Forget Saint Paul; forget Tim Leary: the West’s greatest embodiment of the conversion experience is Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The film/TV versions are all but endless, and due to the strength of the story, a lot of them are pretty good.

Tonight I’m watching one I haven’t seen since childhood, the 1938 Hollywood version with Reginald Owen, on TCM at 8 tonight.
