Does this version look ageless to you?


Despite a few details (like the Ghost of Christmas Present's hair-style) this adaptation has aged like fine wine to me. In my opinion, most made-for-television productions from this era (early 80s) never age well. This seemed like such a high caliber production. Does anyone know if this was originally intended for a theatrical release?

Anyway, this is my favorite version of A Christmas Carol by far. I love it!

I am just seeing this for the first time!!! Everything about it is first rate. I love the costumes,all the performers and, of course George C Scott is, as always epic!!!!!!

As to criticisms of 80's hair, go back and look at the original illustrations. They are spot on recreated here.

Beautiful all the way 'round!

Merry Christmas everyone! 
