A Christmas Carol (1999 TV Movie)
8/10
Fabulous darker tale acted wonderfully by Patrick Stewart as Scrooge
24 December 2018
Theater fans who longed to see Stewart's one-man-show version of "A Christmas Carol" will really appreciate this ! Patrick Stewart on Broadway plays, Scrooge, Fezziwig, Tiny Tim, the Three Ghosts and every other yuletide Dickensian character . I bet that was a sight to see "Live" ! On stage ! In the TNT TV version Stewart plays only Scrooge the film is one of the better adaptations alongside George C Scott's 1984 version, Alastair Sim 1951 ; Sim is a phenomenal Scrooge "gold standard" ! I will tell you however Stewart is outstanding and a joy to watch as you can tell he has completely dedicated himself to the character.

An old bitter miser who makes excuses for his uncaring nature learns real compassion when three ghosts visit him on Christmas Eve. Fabulous darker tale acted wonderfully by Patrick Stewart as Scrooge.
