Curses! I was going to watch it today. Now I’m going to be thinking about the guy in the mirror all through the movie. The Ghost of Stagehands Past.

I love this version, too. The Patrick Stewart TV version from 1999 vies with the Alastair Sim version for my favorite movie treatment. The Stewart version uses dialogue from Dickens’ novella, word for word. I’ll see how close the Sim version follows the book’s dialogue.

IMO, one of the best screen adaptations of “A Christmas Carol” would have to be Scrooged.

Bill Murray (and pretty much his whole real-life family), Alfre Woodard, and a hell of a ensemble cast make it for me.
