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 1840s england but this musical will make you believe otherwise. Kenneth mores musical number as the ghost of christmas present is especially entertaining. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 09/23/2003 Starring: Albert Finney Edith Evans Run time: 118 minutes Rating: G Director: Ronald Neame
Customer Rating: Summary: Singing Scrooge Comment: I love this version because it is a musical, even Albert Finney manages to croak out a decent melody!I saw this first in the movie theatre with my parents and then grew up watching this over the years. It was along with An American Christmas Carol, my favorite version. I had it for many years on VHS and replaced it with DVD this year. A must see for dark humor and great music!
Customer Rating: Summary: Scrooge w/Albert Finney Comment: This is a fabulous musical rendition of the Dickens Classic that has played in our house every Christmas since I discovered it. As the children grew and left home, they each requested a copy. For anyone who likes a good musical--and even those who don't--this is a great movie.
Customer Rating: Summary: A Classic Comment: The muscial scrooge is an enjoyable, humorous, Christmas classic that we watch every year as part of our Christmas eve tradition. As we've given it to our friends and family, they too have made it part of their family tradition as well. Incredible music that you will find yourself singing to yourself at odd times of the year. Acting and screenplay convey both the joy and tragedy of Dickens stories. It's a great tool to help those that can't quite get the "Christmas Spirit" to lighten up and enjoy humanity.
