Yeah!  If you want to watch the best Christmas movie around, look for this one.
Even George C. Scott admitted in a recent interview that when he was approached
to do a new version of "A Christmas Carol," his first response was that it was 
a stupid idea, because Alastair Sim did as good a version as could be done.
(And Scott did a pretty good job himself.)
