Do you know how many times Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol was adapted to the screen?
I just checked the Internet Movie Database and found 50 films, TV movies, and full length animation type movies between 1901 and 2003. That includes not only movies with the title "A Christmas Carol", but Scrooged,The Stingiest Man in Town, An American Christmas Carol, and Weihnachtslied in Prosa oder Eine Geistergeschichte zum Christfest.
Some of the stars that have portrayed Ebeneezer Scrooge include George C. Scott (considered by some to be the definitive Scrooge), Alistar Sim, Scrooge McDuck, Albert Finney, Cicely Tyson, Patrick Stewart, Mr. Magoo (one of my favorites), Henry Winkler, Fred Flintstone, Hoty Axton, Vanessa Williams, Jesus Tordesillas (Brazillian Version), Jack Palance (in a Wild West version) and Bill Murray.
Just in case you wanted to know.
