A Christmas Carol (1984) with George C. Scott as Scrooge...

Ebenezer Scrooge, a curmudgeonly, miserly businessman, has no time for sentimentality and largely views Christmas as a waste of time. However, this Christmas Eve, he will be visited by three spirits who will show him the error of his ways...

A Christmas Carol is a 1984 British-American made-for-television film adaptation of Charles Dickens' famous 1843 novella of the same name. The film was directed by Clive Donner, who had been an editor of the 1951 film Scrooge, and stars George C. Scott as Ebenezer Scrooge. It was filmed in the historic medieval county town of Shrewsbury in Shropshire.

What a beauty! George S. Scott truly embodied Ebenezer Scrooge! ❤❤❤

[enterprisecreations]

One of THE best versions. Watched this all the time as a child, and now too as an adult.

[michaelgraham]

I do enjoy how George Scott played this role. He made this another favorite of mine.

[HenryKennith]

This version is by far the best .
George C Scott was a legendary actor and really knocked it out of the park with this one ..

[anczerewicz]

This tale by Charles Dickens is one of the best of all time. I've enjoyed this and many other versions. It reminds me that the spirit of God is at work within all of us no matter where our circumstances place us!

[VincentTamer]

I think this and the 1951 are the best, hands down. George Scott was excellent in this!

[chris-rc]

The amount of pride Fred would’ve felt. When he heard the words. I see the shadow of my sister in your face.

[Azautographsandcollectibles]

The casting in this one is perfect. Great story of redemption.

[joe-bnjs]

im only 29, but i watch this version every christmas when my family meets at my parents every year. its our favorite version

[BhattacharjeeSagata]

Just brilliant, everyone associated with the production of this masterpiece, including Charles Dickens.
What a heart-touching story! The better version of Scrooge made me cry more than I believed I was capable of!
And what about George Scott as the lead actor? What an actor he is. I think I will not be far from the truth in saying that he played out his part to perfection.
There is so much to learn from this classic. I just wish that I could do a little more to make this world of ours better and brighter.
God bless the producer, the director and all those responsible for making such a wonderful movie, and EVERYONE.

In a role like this George C. is hard to match let alone beat. This is the best film version of the greatest novel ever written.

[Dowlphin]

Such an uncommon way to tell the story, in my perception. Delightful.

[martinhawrylkiewicz]

Such a wonderful movie! I have a little Christmas tradition where every year around this time I read my old Christmas Carol book by Charles Dickens..to re-kindle my gloomy spirit! Happy Holidays!

[Kellerman]

Edward Woodward is the best of all the Christmas Presents.
