VHS Movie Reviews of A Christmas Carol
Movie Review: Fun for the whole family.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best version of 'A Christmas Carol'. George C. Scott is Scrooge, and he brings to the role a depth of feeling and sincerity not seen in other versions. Fun for the whole family. We look forward to it every Christmas season, and it never gets old. Movie Review: On behalf of my Pops
Summary: 5 Stars
My dad is not an amazon member nor is he computer savvy. But he loves this movie and if I remember correctly, it's his favorite in the world. he likes other adaptations of the story but this is hands-down his favorite. Movie Review: The best version by far
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always enjoyed this version of A Christmas Carol. It is great for kids, not too scary. It is a Christmas tradition. My daughter received a role in a stage production in our town because she watched it and loved it so much. Movie Review: Best Scrooge Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: A True Christmas Story
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Summary of A Christmas Carol
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 Keogh7-9 Years Video
