jacksonc Review of A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol (1951)

as good as but NOT better than the Scott version

[25 December 2002]

Many say that this is the best of all versions of Dickens' classic. I

like the 1984 version with George C. Scott as Scrooge just as

much, if not more. I agree that Sim's Scrooge is as good as they

get, but Scott just LOOKED mean and miserly. The rest of both

ensembles were about equal, except for the kid who played Tiny

Tim in the Scott version, he was a good as they get.

The Sim version AND the Scott version both deserve a ten in my

book...
