A Christmas Carol Mashup part 10: 'The End of It' a

I am splicing together segments from ten different versions of A Christmas Carol to create a version as faithful to Charles Dickens' book as I can. I am also including the best of some of the modern interpretations that although not what Mr Dickens could have imagined, still honor the spirit of his Christmas masterpiece.

whats the first 1 shown?

@dragonz4eva The first clip shown here in part 10 is the George C. Scott version from 1984. I think he is the best actor to play Scrooge and that he does the best overall acting job of any actor to portray Scrooge.

Haha. What grade did you end up with? Some Christmas I hope you do read the book though, Dickens' words can send chills down your spine.

Amazing! It must have taken you a life time!

@latitudetwenty = I'd say the combination of Scott's and Stewart's performances are noteworthy. Stewart brought out emotion from the text, but I didn't see that as much in Scott's performance. I feel that you SENSE a change in Scrooge through Stewart's performance.

Of all the different versions of this Charles Dickens classic, I love the Patrick Stewart version the most.

Has no one else noticed something about “A Christmas Carol 1984” on DVD?

In the morning after the ghost of Christmas Future visits Scrooge. Scrooge says, “I’m as merry as a school boy”, but on the subtitles on the UK, DVD, it reads, “I’m as may as a school boy”

Albert Finney's 1970 version may be the musical one you are thinking of. That's the only musical version besides the Muppets right? I didn't even know there was a Kelsey Grammer version until this year when I saw a bit of it on tv. It pretty much sucked but if I had known Jennifer Love Hewitt was in it I would have definitely found a line for her to include :)
