One of the best adaptations of this well-worn story. George C Scott is soo perfect as Scrooge. He plays the part with a sense of realism that doesn't always come through in this role.

A classic straight forward retelling on par with the '38 and '51 versions. George C. Scott is brilliant in this.

Edward Woodward makes a great Ghost of Christmas Present. Although I still expect him to pull out a pistol at some point... LOL...

George C. Scott stars in the made-for-TV movie A Christmas Carol. On Christmas Eve a ruthless businessman is visited by three ghosts who attempt to show him the error of his ways. Scott gives a strong performance and is backed by a solid supporting cast that includes David Warner, Joanne Whalley, Michael Gough, and Roger Rees. And the costumes and sets are especially well-done, giving an authentic feel for the period. However, the directing is a little weak and doesn’t really add much to the material, nor does the script (which is fairly rote). Yet while it’s not a particularly inspired adaption of Charles Dickens work, A Christmas Carol is an entertaining and compelling film about redemption.

A Christmas Carol (1984)

Wonderful Adaptation.

The 1984 TV version of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a joyous thing. Fronted by George C. Scott as the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge, Clive Donner’s movie pays great respects to the source material and garners a multi stranded piece of bri More
