George C. Scott stars as miser Ebenezer
Scrooge in this quality retelling of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol”.

true meaning of Christmas by three Spirits who visit him, revealing to him the
truth about his own miserable existence, what opportunities he wasted in his
youth, his current catalogue of cruelties, and the dire fate that awaits him if

Scrooge is faced with his own story of growing
bitterness and meanness, and must decide what his own future will hold, death
or redemption.

Carter (Future)
