My father-in-law moped around but eventually joined us and at the end of the show he had tears in his eyes and agreed with us that this was the best ever version of "A Christmas Carol"sazballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09169364618410134642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-49106613275192439872009-12-14T12:59:37.486-05:002009-12-14T12:59:37.486-05:00Wonderful review Becky! i do not think George C.

I've never forgotten George C. Scott's magnificent interpretation of Scrooge and Donner's beautiful evocation of 19th century London at Christmastime and watch for it every year (thankfully it seems to be aired more often than it once was).
