The 1977 version of “A Christmas Carol” by BBC is a very accurate rendition of the book it was based on by Charles Dickens written in 1843. This movie comes with its strengths and weaknesses‚ most of its weaknesses coming from the quality of the film production and the movie’s strengths coming from it’s striking resemblance to the earlier made novel. The short movie mirrored the book in so many ways that only really small details were left out such as Scrooge going to the tavern to get his dinner
