Mr Scrooge
Review date: 2006-09-12 Rating: 10 out of 10
This is my third favourite Scrooge film and in this film we get to see Scrooge's father which is the spitting image of Scrooge. His face is mean like Scrooge's face and he has a cane that he whacks against the ground waiting for the young Scrooge to come out of his boarding school.
He is very strict with his son and that is why Scrooge hates everything to do with christmas because christmas is about family and Scrooge's dad hates him because Scrooge's mother died giving birth to Scrooge and his father blames him for it.
Perennial christmas favourite

This is one of the finest productions of this Charles Dickens classic story about the miserable Ebenezer Scrooge being shown the error of his ways. He is visited first by the ghost of his old partner Jacob Marley who warns the old man that his immortal soul will wander the earth for eternity if he doesn't mend his miserly manner. He is also warned he will be visited by three ghosts, Christmas past, Christmas present and Christmas future who will try and help him avoid an eternity of wandering bound in chains. Initially Scrooge is sure the spectres are caused by "a piece of bad beef" but as the story progresses he is forced to face the reality of his life and to realise that he has a duty to his fellow man.
George C Scott is outstanding as the miserly, miserable Scrooge. Other well known faces appear such as Edward Woodward, Frank Finlay, Susannah York and Angela Pleasance. This is a film that warms the heart and never becomes dated. Essential viewing during the festive season.

A very festive movie

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without A Christmas Carol by Chuckie D. The special effects are certainly dated. The principle cast are good with few flat performances. Scott does a wonderful job as Scrooge. You would almost think Georgie S. is British. But if you are looking for a solid seasonal movie to curl up with, this is it.
