Product Description:
COLD-SOULED EBENEZER SCROOGE HAS A CHANGE OF HEART AFTER SPIRIT VISITATIONS ON CHRISTMAS EVE. FOLKS MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD MUCH TO SING ABOUT IN 1840'S ENGLAND, BUT THIS MUSICAL WILL MAKE YOU BELIEVE OTHERWISE. KENNETH MORE'S MUSICAL NUMBER AS THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT IS ESPECIALLY ENTERTAINING.

A mixed bag as variations on A Christmas Carol go, this 1970 British musical tells the usual story of Scrooge (Albert Finney) and his spirits on Christmas Eve, although the whole thing is set to music by Leslie Bricusse. Except for Finney's feisty and involved performance, however, there isn't much to recommend this. The songs, which absorb so much of the evolving story line and emotions, are not all that good. Plenty of support, however, from the likes of Roy Kinnear (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) and Dame Edith Evans (Tom Jones), the handsome production is directed by veteran Ronald Neame (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie). --Tom Keogh

I saw this for the first time in theatres when I was just 5 or 6 and it captivated me. Several more years than I like to think later, it's still the best take on Dickens' classic tale I've ever seen.

Tiny Tim is beautiful and angelic, Bob Crachit is just as we always envisioned him, and I have to strongly ... Read More

As expected, Albert Finney is extraordinary in his portrayal of Scrooge and Alec Guiness is both frightening (not too scary) and hilarious as Marley's Ghost. As is the case with all of the truly classic films, the casting (including the host of no names) is superb. Each character is completely believable. Likewise, the music fits very appropriately into the story-line, as it does in other musical classics such as "Fiddler on the Roof". It is not the typical musical where you have some progress in the ... Read More

My love affair with Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" began in the late 1950's, when I was only 6 years old and watched the Alastair Sim version with my family on television for my very first time. At 12 years old, my 7th grade English teacher read the classic Dickens story to the class reinforcing my love of the story. As a very young adult at the time this movie was released, my sister and I saw it three times the Christmas it came out. I have loved it ever since. I have collected most of the movie versions ...

We have enjoyed this "staple" of the Christmas season for many years...very well done; Albert Finney was a great choice. The acting, the settings, and the actors were all perfect to tell this classic Christmas story!

If you like musicals then this is the Scrooge for you! The songs are ones that will stay in your head always. The story of Scrooge is portrayed so well in this rendition!
