Movie question.

There's something I want to ask .

I wonder if "The Man Who Invented Christmas" is the same movie as "A Christmas Carol"?

Not the same per se. The Man Who Invented Christmas deals with Charles Dickens coming up with A Christmas Carol.

I liked the movie (The Man Who Invented Christmas).  I thought it was done quite well.  I have seen versions of "A Christmas Carol" that were less than impressive (there are dozens of film versions of this movie).

My favorite version of "A Christmas Carol" has to be the version with Michael Caine as Scrooge, and Kermit the Frog as Bob Crachit (A Muppet Christmas Carol).  It's actually quite serious (with a lot of humor as well).  I watch it every Christmas.  There is also a version with Patrick Steward as Scrooge (with pretty much an all British cast) from 1999 that I really liked as well.

I remember watching the version with The Fonz as Scrooge.

No way, Henry Winkler as Scrooge?!  Was that a made for TV movie, or some funky Happy Days episode?

It was a TV movie in 1979:  An American Christmas Carol

"The Man Who Invented Christmas" was a good movie. My favorite Christmas Carol is with Kelsey Grammer. It's a musical. Always gets me to cry at the end.

Not sure which A Christmas Carol movies I have seen. Not a whole lot it seems.
