A Christmas Carol 1984 Directed by Clive Donner

A new powerful presentation of the most loved ghost story of all time!

Miser Ebenezer Scrooge is awakened on Christmas Eve by spirits who reveal to him his own miserable existence, what opportunities he wasted in his youth, his current cruelties, and the dire fate that awaits him if he does not change his ways.
