It's a Wonderful Life (60th Anniversary Edition) Now perhaps the most beloved American film, It's a Wonderful Life was largely forgotten for years, due to a copyright quirk.

This "Patton meets A Christmas Carol" is missing one important "spirit"
Great production values, costumes,cinematography...but this version is as serious as a heart attack and almost as fun..the great George C.Scott (unfortunately)portrays Ebeneezer Scrooge nearly the same as he played George S. Patton (in one of the greatest screen bios ever made, incidentally) ...a pretty joyless outing of this classic tale which also lacks the spark and entertainment value of so many of the other versions...check out SCROOGE starring Albert Finney for an ultimate version along with the classic animated MR.MAGOOS CHRISTMAS CAROL

George C Scott in A Christmas Carol
I think this is the best production of A Christmas Carol that I have seen.

Best version of this movie by far. George C Scott is awesome as Scrooge.
All characters are portrayed better in this version than any other. Not only is George C. Scott the best Scrooge, but this version has the best Fred, Marley, ghosts, Bob and so on. also, this version is very well directed and has some great lines from Scrooge that no other version has.

By Far And Away The Best
George C. Scott does not play Scrooge like "Crabby Appleton". Nor did Dickens write Scrooge that way. In most versions I've seen, the actors are content to play Scrooge like Charles Laughton doing Captain Bligh, no humor or shading whatsoever. As a result, when they get to the end of the story, they look more crazy than filled with joy. Believe it or not, Scrooge is one of Dickens more humorous characters. I defy you to say in you mind "Any fool that goes around with Merry Christmas on his lips should be boiled in his own pudding and buried with a stake of Holly though his heart" and not see the dark humor in it. And how many of us would be able to stand in front of a ghost and say "There's more gravy than grave about you". Scott even manages to make "Bah, Humbug" into something at least Simi-humorous. As a result of his not being a just plain mean person, the redemption scene is believably. The movie also includes some favorites generally missed. Jacob Marlays jaw dropping and the two children want and ignorance.

The best Scrooge yet!
Of the countless versions of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" that have been produced on film and television, George C. Scott plays the best Ebenezer Scrooge I've seen yet. While I like the overall presentation of the 1999 version with Patrick Stewart, Scott's portrayal of the famous yuletide curmudgeon is full of depth and believability. One thing Britishers Stewart and Alistair Sim, who did an excellent job in the 1951 film version, provide the American Scott does not is an English accent, but Scott's naturally gruff voice more than compensates and suits the part well. Definitely be sure to check this version out!
