- The spirit of Christmas becomes a musical celebration of life in this rousing adaptation of Charles Dickens' beloved family classic, A Christmas Carol.
Mean-spirited and stingy, Ebenezer Scrooge (Albert Finney) has a sour face and "humbug" for anyone who crosses his path. But on this Christmas Eve, he will learn the terrible fate that awaits him if he continues his miserly ways. One by one, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future take the startled Ebenezer on an incredible journey through time - showing him in one magical night what takes most people a lifetime to learn.
Filled with joyous songs, this delightful tale is sure to enrich the lives of young and old alike for many more generations.
Scrooge was designed as a follow-up to 1968's Oliver!, the Oscar-winning musicalization of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. The umpteenth musical version of Dickens' 1843 novelette A Christmas Carol, Scrooge features several sprightly Leslie Bricusse songs, including the bona fide hit "Thank You Very Much." Buried under mounds of latex, Albert Finney is Ebenezer Scrooge. The Three Ghosts who turn the miserly Scrooge's life around on Christmas Eve are portrayed by Edith Evans (Past), Kenneth More (Present) and Paddy Stone (Yet to Come). Sir Alec Guinness also appears as a fussy, slightly effeminate Marley's Ghost. Intriguingly, Finney performs his many songs live, without post-production dubbing. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I love this movie, my parents took me to see it when a child, I'm 60 now. A Christmas tradition in my family, we watched it each year on TV, VCR, DVD as time moved on. Now that my father is deceased and my mother has Alzheimer's and doesn't recognize me, I will continue to watch this movie and live in the wonderful memories of Christmas days that have past.
Oh I’m SO sorry. I know exactly how you feel
This movie has taken on so much meaning for me at the holidays. My parents and I used to watch this film every Christmas. It's by far my favorite version of Dicken's classic story. My dad is almost 80 now and although he is still fairly healthy I worry so much about losing him. We still watch it together every year. This film will always be a part of me and hearken back to better times.
Watched it a few times myself one of the best .
Lovely times X how simple it was X but nice
Best version ever... A masterpiece.
No other version can compare. It was wonderful and it captured the true meaning of Christmas! I absolutely love Charles Dickens stories.
The 1951 version is still the best version.
@@MrKaywyn it's a close 2nd
I was about 10 years old the first time I saw this movie and I was deeply impressed. It is, to date, my favorite version of Christmas Carol and I watch it every year with my family ... Rest in peace Albert Finney. It only remains to say that I like life, and life likes me, thank you very much for December the 25th.
The song YOU YOU can make anyone CRY and than make you HAPPY

I loved this Movie,, seen it with my parents at the Movie Theater in 70,,, I am now 63 yo and watch this every year since!!!:)))
My favorite Christmas Movie is Scrooge with Albert Finney as Scrooge. Thank you very much!!!
RIP Albert Finney
I saw this movie at age 4 when it first came out. I had memories of parts of it for many years. I found a VCR copy of it at a thrift store in 2017. I was amused how much I remembered including the parts I had forgotten from that early age. This has become my favorite movie version.
Mine too! My parents used to play this every Christmas when I was growing up and it's become my favorite version. I can still to this day remember whole parts of the songs, and they are embedded in my soul as Christmas classics.
How I wish I could have been there for opening day🌹
maybe not opening day, but my dad saw it in 1970 in theaters. it was his first exposure to A Christmas Carol
This was ALWAYS on at Christmas in England during my childhood 1970s/80s.
Mum n Dad are gone now and I was 50 only 3 weeks back and this is still an annual viewing, makes me so happy but very sad at the same time. Enjoying it with my own kids but missing my childhood and my lovely parents.
Merry Christmas everyone..
Xx
Thank you for your kind contribution; I like this "Christmas Carol" version as well as any. Did you know that it was photographed on the same set as "Oliver!", and interesting enough, the Cinematographer, the amazing Oswald Morris, did both... "Oliver!" and this version of "Scrooge". So, maybe during this Christmas Season, take a look at "Oliver!" also
@@TVConnor Lovely comment as my mum took me to see Lionel Bart's Oliver at local girls school in the 1970s i utterly fell in love with it. And the album followed a Christmas later.
Ron Moody & jack Wild - just amazing.
Of all the amazing things i love about this version is how Finney was so young the make up is incredible and London look so cold, the snow looks real , with a crisp/crunch.
I just had to have the Soundtrack so Mom got me the Album,, well got us the album,, we all enjoyed it!!! Sing a Christmas Carol 🎄🛷 🎁 🎶 🎶🎵🎶
The best Scrooge film ever
I always think that music connects everyone.
This is the definitive version
*Chef kiss*
Makes me sheds some tears every time 🥲
"Musicals" have a bad reputation of being shallow and frilly; nothing could be further from the reality. "Dear Evan Hansen", "West Side Story", "Rent", "Cabaret", and my ultimate favorite, "Parade", the story of the lynching of Leo Frank...
When I first saw this movie as a child I had never heard about Dickens' story before
No teaser trailer back then
They were long trailers back then almost show the whole movie
Wish i got to see this when it came out but i remember when it premiered as the IBM Sunday night TV special and I was transfixed!
I wish I could get that original soundtrack. I keep looking for it and having no luck. I would play it all the time!!!
The soundtrack for "Scrooge" (the Musical) is available on both LP and CD. While out of print, you can usually find a copy on eBay or other similar platforms.
"What the Dickens have they done with Scrooge?" They "Oliver!"ized it, that's what, or tried to. It almost worked. At least Albert Finny was the first movie Scrooge to play both old and young Ebenezer.
Ended too sudden.. Should 've ended at the nephew' s party.. Christmas lunch 3pm sharp..

What the Dickens?
And yet another reason to hate musicals.
If one "hates musicals", then of course "Scrooge" would also be hated, because it is a musical. That makes sense... but there are many more who truly fined films that use music, song and dance as a vehicle to advance the story and give insights into both story and character that dramatic dialog is unable. Musicals, on stage live, or on film, are an art form to them selves. "West Side Story", either the 1963 or the 2021 productions, are amazing in the use of music, song and dance to tell the story. There are fluffy, silly, light musicals, such as “Shrek the Musical”, but most have some depth to change us... "Dear Evan Hanson", "Hamilton", "Parade", "Fun Home", "Hedwig and the Angry Inch", "Falsettos", etc. But one has to have the ability to think beyond...
@@TVConnor No. Not at all! For me musicals are insufferable distractions and tangents diverting from the lessons and plot of the story. Quite boorish really. Inane and puerile. Childish to say the least. Song and dance numbers add nothing at all and only detract from plot. Imagine King Lear or Macbeth as a musical. Such would only trash Shakespeare like Verdi's Otello and Falstaff. Needless to add here is the fact I absolutely hate OPERA as well as BALLET. Both are totally NOT HETEROSEXUAL!
@@desertwolf8089 It really depends how it's written.
I also believe in my heart that music connects people better.
I saw Les Miserablés on Broadway and I was forever changed as how I view musicals. Of course I like a decent one and this one brings me a bit of tears at the end every time.
Of course there is a time and place form a more serious tone type of movie.
For example I can think of two It's a wonderful Life and The Count of Monte Cristo, to absolutely amazing films.
Both type of films can be enjoyed and cherished.
