Amazon.com essential video:
In the same year that he directed a handsome version of The Scarlet Pimpernel for television, Clive Donner also made this worthy 1984 small-screen production of the Dickens tale. George C. Scott can't quite muster a decent English accent, but he does bring some new colors to this movie's interpretation of Scrooge, making the character less nasty for the sake of nastiness and more a product of a life of lovelessness. The supporting cast is first-rate, and the production is far more handsome than most TV fare. --Tom Keogh

I have several versions of this movie. George C. Scott does a great job as Scrooge. I recommend this version.

Well, almost the end.
I have seen every version there is and am delighted to report that this particular one stands head and shoulders above all the rest, for all the reasons elsewhere herein articulated. I would add that the remarks about George C. Scott supposedly "overacting" produced a wide grin of bemusement; for a true example of overacting the role of Ebenezer Scrooge--even whilst being remarkably reined in--see Carrey, first name Jim. (One of my favorite comic actors of all time ... Read More

I have seen ALL the theatrical versions available of "A Christmas Carol" to date, and this one in my opinion is STILL the best overall BAR NONE! It captures the essence of Dicken's classic tale in almost EVERY way. And the performances are superb! IMHO, The late George C. Scott's performance as Ebeneezer Scrooge stands above all the rest, even Patrick Stewart's. While I'm sure the new 3D animated version currently in theaters is entertaining, especially for children, this classic & timeless tale ... Read More

Yes, yes, yes, the movie is great, per many other people's reviews here. However, the copy I received was in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio, rather than the full-screen 1.33:1 which it should have been (and as was indicated on the back of the case). So, until this production issue is fixed, I recommend NOT buying this movie for now, unless you like seeing the tops of people's hairlines cut off. I don't know why something like this would happen, but then, I don't work for Fox Entertainment, who seem to attract ... Read More

Out of all the 'Christmas Carol' renditions I have seen, I think this one is the Best. I love it more every time I watch it after a year goes by. This one actually makes me cry when Tiny Tim could hypothetically cease to live. I enjoy the intense dialogue and facial expressions that this version offers. It is very realistic. A must to own.
