Storyline
Plot Summary |
In 1840s London on Christmas Eve, moneylender Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner Jacob Marley. In his lifetime, Marley was as mean and miserly as Scrooge is now and he warns him to change his ways or face the outcome in the afterlife. Scrooge dismisses the apparition but the first of the three ghosts, the Ghost of Christmas Past visits him as promised. Scrooge sees those events in his past life, both happy and miserable, that forged his character. The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present shows him how many currently celebrate Christmas. The third spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows him how he will be known once he is gone. To his delight, the spirits complete their visits in one night giving him the chance to mend his greedy ways. |

Trivia | During the 1990s, Sir Patrick Stewart wrote and starred in a one-man play based on A Christmas Carol, performing it in various places in the United States and the United Kingdom. He performed it again for the survivors and victim's families of 9/11, and again in 2005. In the play, he performed over forty different characters. See more » |
Goofs | When Scrooge is back visiting his apprenticeship Christmas party, a sideways view of the musician playing the large serpentine wind instrument shows a large black mouthpiece hovering in front of his mouth, whereas moments earlier, from the front, it was a real gray trumpet-like mouthpiece actually attached to the instrument.

Quotes |
Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge:
[about Tiny Tim]
Is there no chance that boy will be spared? The Ghost of Christmas Present: Not if the future remains unaltered. But so what if he dies? If he's going to do it, he'd better do it quick and decrease the surplus population. If you be a man in your heart, forbear that wicked cant until you've discovered what the surplus really is and where it is. Will you decided what men shall live, what men shall die? It may be that in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions, like this poor man's child. Oh God, to hear the insect on the leaf pronouncing there is too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust! See more » |
