1984 - A CHRISTMAS CAROL, yet another version

Yes it's another version of A Christmas Carol, this time with George C Scott in the role of Mister you know who.

This film was directed by one time British wonder boy Clive Donner.  What ever happened to his career anyway?  It has good production values, was photographed in England and with the exception of Scott has an English cast.

Considered to be one of the better and most faithful versions of the Dicken's warhorse of a story.  This strikes me as just another unecessary version of A Christmas Carol.  Filmmakers really need to take a nice long break before anyone tackles this story yet again.


Screenplay by Roger Overholt Hirson the running time is 100 very familiar minutes.
