Synopsis
Charles Dickens' classic holiday tale of one man learning the true meaning of Christmas is brought to the screen once again in this made-for-TV movie. Ebenezer Scrooge (George C. Scott) is a cynical old man whose greatest concern is money, and who regards compassion as a luxury he can't afford. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of Jacob Marley (Frank Finlay), his former business partner, who arranges for Scrooge to be visited by three spirits in an attempt to show him the error of his ways -- the Ghosts of Christmas Past (Angela Pleasence), Christmas Present (Edward Woodward), and Christmas Yet to Come (Michael Carter). The spirits force Scrooge to examine the failings of his own life, as well as the bravery and optimism of his loyal but ill-treated employee Bob Crachit (David Warner). A Christmas Carol also features Susannah York as Mrs. Crachit, Anthony Walters as Tiny Tim, and Joanne Whalley as Fan. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Best Christmas Carol Ever
Love this movie!
January 16, 2015George C Scott makes the best Scrooge hands down. We watch this movie every Christmas Eve, so I had to get it in blu-ray
I would recommend this to a friend
Worth the extra for blue ray
November 18, 2014The blue ray version makes the details pop. How scary is the grim reaper now?! This is worth the extra money spent for the blue-ray version. I would recommend this.

One of the best versions of A Christmas Carol
January 9, 2014I've seen several versions of A Christmas Carol and this is one of the best. The acting is very good and the story stays pretty close to the book with only a few small differences. I found the audio and video quality to be excellent. The only disappointment is the lack of extras. I was very happy to find this in the $7.99 bin!

Looks like we're having trouble displaying reviews for this feature
What can I say except it is George C. Scott playing Scrooge. If you remember Scott playing Patton, this is the same intensive effort to make Scrooge not just an old scrooge, but a human who had a bad childhood and made decisions that left him seeking wealth rather than love. I wish it was in wide screen.
