December the 25th!

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, period! I have always been perplexed as to why - when folks speak of great Christmas movies, Albert Finney's Scrooge is rarely - or never mentioned. I have concluded that there are still hordes of people who love Christmas movies who have never seen this - and many who (although it was released around 1970) don't even know that it exists. I saw it the first time it appeared on television and have never looked back! An amazingly talented cast of characters including Finney in his best role ever as Ebeneezer. In my humble opinion, Finney owns the role of Scrooge. None of the other great actors, past or present who have portrayed Scrooge, have ever managed to endow the character with such life and depth. Finney's portrayal is magical. The musical numbers and the brilliant choreography are second to none. What a Christmas treat! November 30, 2008

Classic!

This is one of the best musical adaptations ever. Unfortunately, it is often overlooked in favor of far inferior versions. Every family should make watching this film a Christmas tradition. It could even make you wish you were living back in Dickens' time! An all star cast and memorable songs make this DVD highly recommended.

A TIMELESS CLASSIC - Some movies simply capture the Christmas spirit! Like the original MIRACLE ON 34TH STEET, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, and Alistair Sim's A CHRISTMAS CAROL; Albert Finney, Sir Alec Guinness and Kenneth More create that "Christmas feeling".
They pass the test. My children grew up singing "Father Christmas" "I Like Life" and "Thank You, Very Much". Now, my grandchildren sing along. (When your kids and your kid's kids like it, you know it's got to be good!)
The production is lavish. The actors fill their roles to perfection. (And who would have thought a short little guy like Kenneth More could play a giant!)
A timeless classic that really says, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! November 24, 2008
