@@Kriegsbeil5577 I know right! For all the Shakespearian actors that have played this role Scott is the only one that seems to understand that this is Shakespearian character. I lifetime of regret, bitterness, sorrow and haunted everyday by his past mistakes but takes the final shot of redemption he is granted. And I think what makes his performance so good is that Scott understood that while Scrooge can be a bit sadistic, his greatest sin is his detachment and apathy. Scott is seems so emotionally withdrawn throughout this movie and it shows you how Scrooge has cut himself off to keep himself from feeling pain. But in cutting off from pain he also cut himself off from joy and you need both to be human. Scott is playing a man who rediscovers his humanity and it’s amazing.

@@sweeney60 I saw an interview Scott did with Larry King where he commented about playing Scrooge. He said that he wanted to play the inherent “sadness” in the character. This was how he approached Scrooge. I think that says so much. Yes, he can be mean, nasty and stingy but Scott adds so much depth to the character by the emphasizing the tragedy in Scrooge, a man who has lost his way in life. You feel as though the character is all the more worthy of redemption. The performance is heartbreaking, heartwarming and unforgettable. This has always been my absolute favorite version of A Christmas Carol and George C. Scott is a large part of the reason why.

“A Christmas Carol” is and always will be a heartwarming tale with a message that makes even the jolliest of folks contemplate how they can be better, do more for their fellow man, and be even more fulfilled as a result. Every time I watch any version of it (this just happens to be my favorite) I always end up reflecting on my recent past and finding some way I could have done better in life, and I’ll try my best to change what I do the next time that scenario presents itself. I’m certain I’m not the only one who does this and I think it’s amazing a story over a century old can still make those who hear and or see it told want to try a little harder and do a little more just because life, while always short, can be so much more fulfilling when we can help make others happy in any way, no matter how small.

I'm not sure if this is the best "version" of the tale overall, but IMO George C. Scott is the best Scrooge.

Alistair Sim, best scrooge, the original black and white, captures London, then I think Patrick Stewart after him

This my favorite version of A Christmas Carol. I've always thought though....it's no wonder Bob was late the next day. By the time a turkey that size was cleaned and cooked in a mid 19th century oven....assuming it was delivered around 10am.....they wouldn't be eating dinner until 8 or 9pm at the earliest.
