In preparation of my upcoming show, I decided to watch a few versions of the story I've never seen before. The first was George C Scotts.
It follows Dickens pretty well, but does add more scenes for the length of the movie. And though Scott is a wonderful actor I didn't feel his portrayal of Scrooge was the best. Scrooge is utterly persistent that he's in the right for most of the movie. Only at the end after he is scared to death by the 3rd spirit does he finally repent.
I felt it was a little untrue to his character from the novel where he grows more human as the night goes on. Overall, it isn't bad but certainly not the best version I've seen.
Have a good weekend folks!
