Patrick Stewart vs. George C. Scott

Which Scrooge and which of the tv versions did you like better? I personally felt Stewart was a perfect Scrooge, along with Sim. George C. Scott was good, but just didn'f fit the role as much as they did. I do believe the Scott version though had a better production, better scenary, and better music. Acting from the supporting castwas probably a little bit better in the Stewart version. To me, they are about the same.

George C. Scott. I envision Scrooge as a blunt man. Patrick Stewart is just too refined for such a roll.

I was going to watch this today and now you've made me skeptical.

I'm not saying it's bad. It's just that the George C. Scott's take on Ebenezer was better.

Stewart was about the only thing I liked about the 1999 adaptation but George C. Scott delivers a flawless performance in a much better film, so he gets my vote.
