ok. i be bias . i live near shrewsbury in england and where this wonderful movie be film . it still look the same now . i remember them film here quite vividly and and the fake snow on the street for day on end . often and when i be walk through shrewsbury i see a street or a house and it will remind me of this film . george c. scott scrooge be a more realistic character than many of the other screen version . his physical appearance isn not the typical miser . scott be big and impose . a man who find those small than himself to be inferior . we all know the story and the quote . the book be one of the most cherished work in the english language . and i do not believe there be many cynic who would say that people aren not capable of change and redemption . this film version portray all of that quite beautifully . george c. scott may be american but he play the part of the english miser with wonderful skill . i love this movie . if you haven not see this version i would strongly urge that you do . it usually available for a very small amount of money . or be you too mean .
