Movie Reviews of Scrooge
Movie Review: Absolutely Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful movie. Beautifully filmed with great acting and sumptuous sets. The movie has a warm glow throughout. Albert Finney is terrific as Scrooge, second only to Alister Sim's portayal in "A Chistmas Carol". The supporting cast is excellent with Kenneth More giving a bravo performance as the ghost of Christmas present. The music is also very good, capturing the feeling of each scene as well as the personalities of the characters. I find myself singing "December the 25th" and Happiness Is". Most importantly, this movie is true to Dickens story. As a long time student of Charles Dickens this is primary for me. I have to say that the editorial review by Tom Keogh is way, way off base. Buy this movie and watch it with your family. It will make you laugh and cry. This movie is a must in anyone's Christmas collection.
Summary of Scrooge
A Christmas Carol, by Dickens is transformed into a singing and dancing spectacular.Genre: Christmas
Rating: G
Release Date: 23-SEP-2003
Media Type: DVD
A mixed bag as variations on A Christmas Carol go, this 1970 British musical tells the usual story of Scrooge (Albert Finney) and his spirits on Christmas Eve, although the whole thing is set to music by Leslie Bricusse. Except for Finney's feisty and involved performance, however, there isn't much to recommend this. The songs, which absorb so much of the evolving story line and emotions, are not all that good. Plenty of support, however, from the likes of Roy Kinnear (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) and Dame Edith Evans (Tom Jones), the handsome production is directed by veteran Ronald Neame (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie). --Tom Keogh
