A Look Back At 'A Christmas Carol' With The Late Great George C. Scott As Scrooge
One of my favorite Christmas films is A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott as Scrooge. I watch it every year during the holiday season.
I believe Scott's portrayal of the Dicken's character Scrooge is the most powerful on film.
Lee Pfeiffer at cinemaretro.com offers his view of the 1984 film.
At the risk of being drawn and quartered, I have to say that, with all due respect to the magnificent Alastair Sim, my favorite version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol is the wonderful 1984 TV production starring George C. Scott in a magnificent, Emmy-nominated performance as Scrooge.
