    Editorial Reviews

    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, All Movie Guide

    February 09, 2009: This is the best adaptation of the A Christmas Carol. I have owned this for years on VHS. I was happy to finally find the DVD. If you like the book you will love this DVD. A real Christmas treat!

    March 12, 2006: I read the Christmas Carol book by Charles Dickens and I thought it was very good and I have seen several of the movie adaptations and the George C. Scott version is one of my favorites. Yes, it's true that he wasn't good at doing British accents which is why some people probably didn't find him convincing but he is a superb actor and played the part well even though he sounded very American and this movie really shows why he is thought of by many as one of the greatest actors of all time and I highly recommend this DVD!
