- George C. Scott in A Christmas Carol (1984) Yes, it took an American to perfect the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. While there are many things to love about Clive Donner's 1984 adaptation for CBS—its authentic recreation of 1840s London, its use of period music, its deeply talented ensemble of David Warner, Susannah York, Roger Rees, Edward Woodward, and Joanne Whalley—it's really Scott who stands out.
