George C. Scott is just fantastic as Scrooge, every bit as good if not a bit better than Alistair Sim. If you enjoy this Christmas classic story, get this one.
September 30, 2008 George C. Scott is one of the best actors today. His role is by far the best of any modern version taking advantage of more recent technology. It would be unfair to compare this with the Sim version because of the productions being made in a completely time period. Having both versions allows one to decide which is prefered. I play both versions at least once each every Christmas - it puts one in the mood for the season.
September 3, 2008I watch this every year. George C. Scott can play mean or nice with the best of them, which makes the character believable. The music is very good, too.
August 8, 2008I have read Dicken's "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" and seen it dramatized by a variety of actors, beginning with the late British actor Alister Sims, but I do believe George Scott captures the essese better than any other recent potrayal. It wouldn't be Christman without vewing this version.

George C. Scott is at his finest as Ebenezer Scrooge - no one plays him better. This DVD replaces my old Video cassette of this title - I never want to be without this version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL during the holidays.
