Jack Hawkins wrote in his 1973 autobiography "Anything for a Quiet Life" regarding this film, "All of us in the film were sure that we were making something quite unusual, and a long way removed from the Errol Flynn-taking-Burma-single-handed syndrome. This was the period of some very indifferent American war movies, whereas 'The Cruel Sea' contained no false heroics. That is why we all felt that we were making a genuine example of the way in which a group of men went to war."

A Christmas Carol, 1984...

This is probably the only version of 'A Christmas Carol' in which Scrooge wears dress pants with a dress shirt, vest, and smoking jacket instead of his nightshirt, slippers, and cap. Rumor has it that George C. Scott openly reeled at the very thought of portraying Scrooge under such conditions, especially in an English winter. In the book, Scrooge wears his shirt, pants, vest, dressing gown, and slippers. Scott's clothing is very close to the book. Scott was a scholar of Dickens..
George C. Scott noticeably plays a slightly-different version of Ebenezer Scrooge in this film; Scrooge has a slightly dark sense of humor such as laughing at his nephew when he claims Christmas is humbug and refusing to dine with him and at times is sarcastic to his peers, especially the Ghost of Christmas Past, and to a lesser extent the Ghost of Christmas Present. Plus, Scrooge is quite clever at using wit to get what he wants from his fellow businessmen at the exchange; he uses very complex words and claims to be an expert at the game 'Simile.' Scott claimed he wanted to play Scrooge as primarily lonely and exhausted rather than miserly.

In both this film and Murder on the Orient Express (2017), Poirot shows signs of being obsessive compulsive (Letitia Wright's character even calls him "obsessive" at one point). His need for balance and symmetry is shown when he sends back one of the desserts so that he has an even number and when he straightens the feet of one of the victims. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (or OCD) is considered a relatively new discovery, but the term was actually coined in 1877 by German psychiatrist Carl Westphal.
