 Best Christmas Carol out there January 27, 2009
S. Clark (Colorado Springs, CO)
George C. Scott is the finest Scrooge I've seen. His "humbug" attitude and resurrection to regain the holiday spirit is so believable. The settings are out of the Dickens time period and the quality of the characters add to the story. Particularly wonderful is his realization of his life failures and stingy appearance to others that when he finally turns the tide, the expressions of lightness, laughter and charm make you feel so good about Christmas spirit and giving to others. Unlike so many other lookalikes, the main focus of this version is Scrooge himself and it's no wonder with a terrific actor like George C. Scott to play him. Patton move over, Scrooge has arrived without the boots and riding crop!
George C. Scott Christmas Review January 24, 2009

I bought this version of A Christmas Carol based upon the reviews I read here. Big mistake! George C. Scott was great as Patton, but he doesn't show the range of emotion that a character like Scrooge requires. His transformation comes late in the game, and it seems motivated mostly by fear of how others will remember him. I still much prefer the Alastair Sim version as the definitive version. There is no better Scrooge, no better Marley, and no better Cratchet. And it continues on down to Tiny Tim. Hands down the best cast and best screen adaptation. This version is better than some, but overall it just doesn't really cut it for me.
The best version, IMHO January 14, 2009

Misery...bitterness...isolation...regret...redemption....rebirth and celebration...How can anyone NOT like George C. Scott as Scrooge in this holiday classic? There are many versions of this story in the marketplace; however, because of the great acting by the entire cast, this is my personal favorite.
My only wish is that this DVD had been reformated into HD.
The best version of all! January 14, 2009

This edition of Achristmas Carol is beautifully done and keeps tighly with Dicken's original text. The scenes are quaint and George C. Scott is the most aweful and wonderful scrooge. The music is warm and traditional and I could watch this over and over and see more thoughtful detail.
