Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 1,860 Posted December 18, 2016 Last night my wife and I watched A Christmas Carol, with George C. Scott as Scrooge. It was a very well done production. It put me in the mood for Christmas this year, as if my Greatgrand kids couldn't. MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND GOD BLESS US, EVERY ONE! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackwater 53393 4,149 Posted December 18, 2016 In my mind, THE ABSOLUTE BEST production of A Christmas Carol EVER!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 1,860 Posted December 18, 2016 He and the writers sure brought a lot to the table in the production. I thought he made a very believable Scrooge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocWard 4,372 Posted December 18, 2016 My favorite version. I hope I get the chance to sit down and watch this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utah Bob #35998 12,199 Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) I like the classic with Alastair Sim. Glorius black and white. Jacob Marley's ghost scared the bejeebers out of me as a kid! Edited December 18, 2016 by Utah Bob #35998 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deacon Henry, SASS #53503L 57 Posted December 18, 2016 I too am an Alastair Sim fan. From what is posted I need to watch the George C. Scott production. Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utah Bob #35998 12,199 Posted December 18, 2016 Problem is I can't see Patton as Scrooge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackwater 53393 4,149 Posted December 19, 2016 Scott went from one to the other seamlessly!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Plasters, SASS#60943 308 Posted December 19, 2016 other than the Allistair Sim version there was another old B&W version but I haven't seen it in years - anyone else remember it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 1,860 Posted December 19, 2016 I agree with Backwater, Scott made the transformation quite well. One of the things that came out to me, was how he reacted to each issue. Denial, self justification, and even when the facts were before his eyes, he did not want to accept them. And then. like the Grinch, his heart melted and he became a human being. I thought it was great. I hope you all enjoy it as well. But then, a GOOD thespian can do that.

JudgeBagodonuts 18 Posted December 20, 2016 My favorite rendition of the classic, by far, is the one with George C. Scott. Of course, I'm also a fan of Scrooged! with Bill Murray, which is only an homage to the original plot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
