There was a musical version with Albert Finney released by in the 1970s that I liked ever better.

I'd totally forgotten about that one - gotta add it to my video search list.

My current favorite is the fairly recent one starring Patrick Stewart.

Didn't forget him, just like Scott better.

The difference as I see it is Sim version of Scrooge like to be mean I felt.

Scott's version Scrooge never thought about it one way or the other the civilities of life never entered his mind.

my favorite Christmas Carol version. And I also like Roger Rees as the nephew to Uncle Scrooge.

The Albert Finney version is called “Scrooge” and is outstanding. Finney is IMHO the best Ebeneezer, and Alec Guinness is fabulous as Marley. The song “Thank You Very Much” won an Oscar, and the bit actors fit the roles well.
