Agreed. George C. Scott is the perfect Scrooge.
I LOVE The Muppets version, more lighthearted & Michael Caine is awesome! But, for the deeper version, George C Scott & for a darker version, the BBC Guy Pearce version is excellent!! It’s DARK & it really brings out the misery of the story. Plus Guy Pearce is just excellent & the rest of the cast ...true Brits..... Superb!!
