CBS Presents: A Christmas Carol

Movie Summary

Released: 1984
George C. Scott stars in this critically acclaimed version of Charles Dickens' holiday classic in which one man discoveres the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas elicits nothing more than "Bah, humbug!" from Ebenezer Scrooge (Scott), a miser whose sole pursuit of financial success has left him a bitter and lonely old man.

But a Christmas Eve visit from the spirit of Jacob Marley, the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come ultimately teaches him to open his heart to the spirit of Christmas and to the joys of friends and family.

Filmed entirely on location in the historic English town of Shrewsbury, this lavish production vividly brings to life one of the world's best-loved Christmas stories.

First aired in 1984 as a CBS Movie presentation. Then continued to be shown every Chirstmas season on CBS until 1993. Then was aired on WGN from 1994 to 2006. As of 2007, airs on AMC every Christmas season.

This version of A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott is the best version by far!

I remember when this was aired on CBS every Christmas season back in the 80's and early 90's.

I plan on watching this version of A Christmas Carol a few times this Christmas season, just like last year and the years before.

George C. Scott (Patton) as Ebenezer Scrooge and David Warner (Titanic) as Bob Cratchit is just perfect.
