Title: Superb Production
Review: This made-for-television movie is an extremely faithful reproduction of Dickens' classic tale. Very little has been added in the way of newly-written scenes nor have many names been invented or changed. A few minor omissions include the interlude scene where Scrooge dines at a local tavern after closing the office on Christmas Eve. There is no depiction of the fettered spirits surrounding Marley upon his departure through Scrooge's window. The Ghost of Christmas Present does not take Scrooge to visit others celebrating Christmas. Other films have shown the lighthouse keepers, the sailors and the miners. Excellent interpretations of Dickens' characters include those of Fred, Jacob Marley, The Ghost of Christmas Present, Tiny Tim, and of course, George C. Scott as Ebeneezer Scrooge. You can read in more detail a comparison of this and other film treatments of the Dickens' classic at [...].
