Exceptional adaptation of this classic story. Great script that moves smoothly with outstanding performances by George C. Scott as Scrooge as well as a superb supporting cast. The emotional levels of this story are wonderfully portrayed. Excellent filming and costuming. This version also has my favorite “Christmas Carol” endings with great final scenes between both Scrooge and Bob Cratchit (Bob's amazed shock in this version is superb) and Scrooge with his nephew, Fred, and his wife. As a fan of “Christmas Carol” in all its various adaptations (including the cheesy ones), the holidays are not complete without viewing this particular one! Definitely one of my top two favorites! *****
