I wanted to share this. Some of the film adaptations of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" stray a little from the original book: “We spirits have no fear. Bear but the touch of my hand on your heart, and you shall be safe.” A Christmas Carol (1938 film). “It is enough for a man to understand his own business without interfering with other peoples', mine occupies me constantly. Good afternoon, gentlemen.” Scrooge (1951 film). “No, your money paid for the goose, my dear. Because you earnt it.” Scrooge (1970 film). “Truth lives! Truth lives! Truth lives!...” A Christmas Carol (1984 film). “Spirit, forgive me, but I see something strange and not belonging to you. There, beneath your robe. ls it a foot...or a claw?” A Christmas Carol (1999 film).
