I LOVE both the George C. Scott and the Alastair Sim versions.

I subscribe to HBO and over these past Thanksgiving Holidays (since Wed. - Today, Sunday) I have many, many free stations. Starz, Cinemax, Showtime, Xtra.

I've been able to record a boatload of movies on my DVR. The George C. Scott movie played this morning and the Alastair Sim one plays today. I'll be able to watch them throughout the season.
