Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS & SPECIALS. I HAVE NO AGENDAIn this Charles Dickens classic filled with pathos, hope and redemption, a cold old miser named Scrooge (Albert Finney) is forced by the ghosts of Christmases past, present and future to take a good, long look at his life. What will he become after he faces what hurts most and why does he despise everything that makes people happy? Sir Alec Guinness plays Marley; Robert Neame directs this acclaimed 1972 musical.This film however seems to run at a brisk pace. The short coming in the film (Too many songs) are made up for by the cast. Albert Finney is always enjoyable.The 1st Class Production also co-stars Alec Guinness. Directed by Ronald Neame who would later direct "The Poseidon Adventure".This film is one versions of "A Christmas Carol".

There so many versions it's hard to keep up and.not compared them to the early at the ones 1938 .1951. And I have also seen 1935 was I did not like and was not fan of billy muffs Scrooge .When I put this on . I had no idea was a musical one at all,, not a fan musicals. . That is one reasons I did nit like it.The other reason is that even before the singing started , I just could not get into the movie at all. Ii felt the seem were longer the. Others and lingers sconces , I was a Little bored and looking at my watch .I don't think I like can't of songs at all and they went for to long for my taste even those thank you every much song , got stuck in my head all the next day and yet I. Hated it.For me this was not one of my fav version of Scrooge . 4/10

Nominated for four Oscars for set design, music and costumes, it garnered a Golden Globe for Albert Finney for Best Actor.I was leery of Scrooge as a musical, but it is a story that I love, and it had great special effects.Dame Edith Evans is the Ghost of Christmas Past, and she really brings something to the role. In fact, all three ghosts bring something to the role that is lacking in earlier productions.Every thing is great about this film, from Albert Finney to the huge turkey.Maybe they could have left out the songs.
