Scrooge (1970)
Ebenezer Scrooge is a cold-hearted and greedy old miser whose only concern is money and profit and hates everything to do with Christmas. But he has a change of heart after three spirit visitations: Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future on Christmas Eve.

Lovely. Even better than the Henry Winkler version.

Even Scrooge's fingernails are dirty, and while I don't think that Dickens intended to equate greed with unwashed hands, he probably would not have objected.

[Finney is] the only element of this production that is really up to much good... the film lacks energy or dramatic thrust.

Although rather hammy at times, Finney holds the screen throughout.

Director Ronald Neame's well-paced film captures the period beautifully, and the acting is superb, with Finney and Alec Guinness, as Marley's ghost, real standouts.

A misbegotten musical adaptation of Dickens' much too perennial tale.

Scrooge works very nicely on its intended level and the kids sitting near me seemed to be having a good time.

Thank you very much - for this perennial holiday delight.

A roduction that suffers from its theatrical roots and its need to not only make its antihero see the error of his ways but go way overboard in making up for his past.

This musical Scrooge is great for kids.

One of the more delightful versions

Unlike the great musicals, where you might find yourself humming a tune a few days later, with Scrooge, you'll be lucky if you remember the name of one of the songs a few hours later.
