THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS BY NORMAN ROCKWELL.
   

This bloggers favorite version the classic, A Christmas Carol is
a 1984 British-American made-for-television film adaptation of
Charles  Dickens‘ famous 1843 novella of the same name. The
film was directed by Clive Donner, who had been an editor of
the 1951 film Scrooge, and stars George C. Scott as the best
Ebenezer Scrooge. It was filmed on location in the historic
medieval county town of Shrewsbury in Shropshire, in the
English Midlands.
 
The movie remains among the most beloved of the several
adaptations of A Christmas Carol. Novelist and essayist
Louis Bayard, writing for Salon.com,  described it as "the
definitive version of a beloved literary classic", praising its
fidelity to Dickens’ original story, the strength of the films
supporting cast, and especially Scott’s performance as
Scrooge.
