This DVD is, hands down, the finest performance of this Dickens classic ever on film or video. The costumes, sets, script and performances are remarkable, and very believable. Patrick Stewart gives life to Scrooge and makes him seem real, alive. The script mirrors the original story very well. A finer cast of supporting actors would be very difficult to assemble. I think that if Charles Dickens himself viewed this DVD, he would be most satisfied. We have viewed this video at least ten times over the years, and each time we notice more to enjoy.
There is nothing to dislike, here.
I bought this copy as a gift to help inspire a friend who in an amateur playwright.
