The story was, as usual with Dickens adaptations, "based upon" rather then being a faithful screen adaptation of the original story. However, the sets were wonderful - filmed in Shrewsbury, a town I know well - and there was some good acting. But why, O why, did they have to use an American actor in the principal role? Americans can never, never, never get English vowels right. You always get "hat water" instead of "hot water" etc. Imagine this film with, say, Peter Cushing instead of Mr Scott - what a treat that would be!

This film is once of the all time classical Christmas story. It has always be my favourate film. This film highlights that money, greed and profit is not what matters, it's about making the world a better place and helping those in need. I purchased this film as this was the only version I did not have of it and also I like Patrick Stewart as an actor, Brilliant Christmas film.

great film to get you in to the christmas sprit. words cant explane who good it is.happy new year to you all

This is a superb film with George C Scott giving a magnificent performance.Edward Woodward also gives a powerful performance and the film is a really true masterpiece and a "Must see" at Christmas.Even the children give great credence to the roles that they play.This film is without doubt the best rendition of the Dickens masterpiece a joy to behold.Christmas would not be Christmas if I did not see this gem.

This is a Wonderful film, with a great moral story.How being nice changes our attitudes and life into something joyous.

A superb production. George C. Scott is charismatic as Scrooge bringing depth to the role and with just the right amount of humour as he 'discovers' Christmas! Supported by an excellent cast, I have always loved this story.
I did feel though, that Oliver's character could have been a little stronger, he looked too clean and well-fed in the early part and his script could have carried a more dramatic edge. However, he is only a junior actor. Cherie Lunghi was a superb Nancy. Since purchasing this DVD I have watched it twice and will continue to play it and be thoroughly entertained.

The best modern interpretation of Charles Dicken's classic tale. From the lavish production to the supreme cast, this film is a magical experience and captures the time and place perfectly. This is an enchanting film and one that I will never tire of watching. Highly recommended.
