Review – A Christmas Carol (1984)

This straightforward, made-for-TV version of the Dickens classic has a surprisingly impressive cast. George C. Scott takes the lead. David Warner plays Cratchitt. Just about every role is a familiar face. And yet the part that stood out in my notes was Anthony Walters’s performance as Tiny Tim. Walters had never acted onscreen before and has done little in TV or movies since. But between his vaguely demented performance and corpse-like makeup, he was quite a departure from the sweet little cherubs they usually get for the role. Mildly amusing
