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

Memorable songs, familiar characters, wonderful imagery and special effects, all add up to a great musical adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic. Finney's querulous old miser is very well done. Scrooge is written as more than just a master of high finance: he is a local money-lender as well, and all the little people who owe him money are portrayed with warmth and sympathy. His sips of the "milk of human kindness" brings an appropriate warming to his cold heart, and his sorrow and later redemption ... Read More

This is by far my favorite holiday movie as well as my favorite version of Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'. The classic tale is retold in musical form providing a wonderful twist. The performances are matchless and the scenery and costumes are outstanding. No Christmas Eve would be complete without seeing it. I've owned it on VHS for years now and I've been hoping for a DVD version and finally it's here! It's an older movie so naturally the special features are very limited but the remastered picture ...
