Product Description

Product Description

A musical version of Dickens' famous novel. Miserly Ebenezer Scrooge (Albert Finney) is so mean-spirited that he resents giving his clerk Bob Cratchit (David Collings) the day off for Christmas. At night, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his late partner Jacob Marley (Alec Guinness), who warns him that three spirits will visit him in an attempt to save his soul.

From Amazon.co.uk

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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 starsALBERT FINNEY'S SCROOGE
By Jess Porlock on 14 Dec. 2004
Format: DVD
Long underestimated, this 1970 version of 'A Christmas Carol' mixes a fine feast of popular songs (by Leslie Bricusse) and a vintage performance of the old miser by Albert Finney.The latter manages to achieve what only Sim has done before or since in making the transition from crotchety old humbug to reformed philanthropist believable.One of the few actors to play himself as a young man as well, this is vintage Finney in a lavish spectacular as well-proportioned as Pinewood's previous epic 'Oliver' There's a great suporting cast as well - Kenneth More as the Ghost of Christmas Present, the great Edith Evans as Christmas Past and a truly frightening Alec Guinness as Marley. Laurence Naismith and a young Anton Rodgers also appear in a couple of notable numbers 'December 25th' and the popular 'Thank You Very Much'.
Grossly under-rated by reviewers for years this musical has spawned two great stage shows with Anthony Newley and Tommy Steele following in Albert's footsteps. Both have played to packed houses, the latter continues to do so.The audience, as usual, has the last laugh ! If you buy no other version of Christmas Carol, you should make this one yours.

5.0 out of 5 starsMy Favorite Flawed Hero
By J. H. Sweet on 8 Sept. 2005
Format: DVD
I have read A Christmas Carol several times; and though this is a musical, I do not think it takes away at all from Dickens' classic story. Rather, I believe it is a wonderful tribute to it. Ebenezer Scrooge is one of my favorite literary characters of all time; and Albert Finney brings him to life perfectly, making the miser loveable and sympathetic throughout. As in the written work, I love Scrooge both before and after his epiphany. I was especially touched by his feelings of abandonment at being left at school for Christmas in his youth, and the deep regret he experiences over the breaking of his engagement to Fezziwig's daughter.
Tiny Tim is well cast in this movie. He has a beautiful voice and touching expressions, and is perfect in size, tiny, which is not the case in some other film versions.

Leslie Bricusse's song lyrics are every bit as wonderful as those written for Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The costuming, scenery, and props are very lavish and beautiful, adding to the richness of the story. The DVD version is perfect in this respect with good color and clarity.
The story is wonderfully staged in five acts (Introduction, Past, Present, Future, Conclusion), the first four building perfectly to the final, which is every bit as heartwarming as the conclusions of It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. It is impossible not to smile as Scrooge buys out the toy store, purchases other gifts, wipes the slate clean for his debtors, and makes charitable contributions. His transformation from miser and loan shark to a genuine Father Christmas is absolutely beautiful.
When I was growing up, we always decorated our tree on Christmas Eve; and I remember watching this movie many years in a row during that family tradition.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsWell About Time! Thank You Very Much, Thank You Very Much..
By Mr R Winson on 12 Dec. 2003
Format: DVD
OK so the Amazon review didn't rate it but I truly love this film. It's not the best film ever made and never will be but it really gives you a feel good factor.
Albert Finney is excellent (isn't he always?) as are Edith Evans, Kenneth More, Anton Rodgers, Alec Gunness and the chap that plays Bob Cratchitt (sorry, can't think of his name off hand!)
Everyone harps on about the Alastair Sim version but I truly prefer this one. The perfect film to watch late on Christmas Eve. It really gets you into the Christmas spirit (pardon the pun!)
Why on Earth is it only available on region 1??????

5.0 out of 5 starsChristmas wouldn't be the same without it!
By Ms. V. Stevens on 14 Dec. 2006
Format: DVD
This 1970 Albert Finney film is quite simply the best version of A Christmas Carol ever made - in my humble opinion. My family has a long-standing tradition of watching this film together on Christmas Eve. Even though we've all grown up now and have homes of our own, if we can't be together at Christmas we each play our copies of the film simultaneously. Christmas wouldn't be the same without this great movie!

5.0 out of 5 starsScrooge is no MEAN movie!
By Ken Bushnell on 30 Nov. 2004
Format: DVD
I have been looking forward to this being released on DVD for years and now it is happening fantastic. One of the best adaptations I have ever seen this is a musical version with a star studded cast such as Albert Finney (Scrooge), Alec Guinness (Jacob Marley) & Kenneth More. Look out for a great performance by Anton Rodgers as well as many other great stars. In the words of one of the songs from the movie:
"Thank you very much, it's the nicest thing anyone has done for me"

5.0 out of 5 starsThe best. The very best!
By Mr. N. J. Harris on 22 Dec. 2006
Format: DVD
As far as I am concerned, and it appears several others reviewers agree with me, this is the definitive version of the classic Christmas Carol tale. The additional benefit being, apart from the excellent cast of course, is the fact that it is set to music! And what excellent songs!

From the opener "I Hate People" through to the reprise of the classic "Thank You Very Much" (in my opinion one of the best movie songs of all time!), the songs are of a superb quality and adhere to the story as well as hastening it along too. The vocal harmonies and coreography involved are second to none and even those not blessed with the greatest of singing voices (Kenneth More for example) do themselves proud due to the quality of the tunes themselves.

This film is one of my favourite films of all time and gets watched regularly all through the year.

Buy it. Love it. It's that simple.
