Scrooge the Musical (1970) Part 4

[Antichrist2000]

I must admit Ebenezer has more balls than I. If a ghostly shadow of a person i once knew dragged me to the sky to look upon the damned I would have covered my eyes much sooner than he did heh.

On another not, in my opinion even to this date I think Michael Hordern is still the best Jacob Marley.

No one has ever managed to hit the mark as close as he did with his forlorn delivery, nor been able to truly deliver the bone chilling scream that the book describes.

6:45

Whaddya know, he IS Jewish!

[epa316]

These aren't the chains you're looking for, Obi W-- I mean, Marley!

[mistaD72]

Always liked this version. I thought it was a lot darker than any of the ones the preceded it or the ones that have been made after it.

[jhiller21]

Marley goes ham when people don't believe in him

[The1910Phantom]

"Farewell, Scrooge...."

Marley! Watch out for that first--

*thudding and chrashing down the staircase*

Step.

[karda009]

0:15 too bad about that. It looked like a pretty nice bowl.

[NBASpurs21]

"You will be visited by three ghosts."

----"I, I think I'd rather not."

LOL

[MzLoriAnnAWA]

always favored this version. Jacob Marley is the shizz (never tell him he is an old potato or undigested beef), & i love Albert Finney as Scrooge. i still catch myself singing "i hate people", "i like like life" & "thank u very much", even when it's not x-mas season. :P

This movie is a good quality production for 1970.

[Teeuw1976]

@techhpro  it's all filmed on stage, well most is. It's a musical.

[cstoczyn]

[Rizzolification]

"Three ghosts??  humph! THREE HUMBUGS" looooooooooooooooool!!!!!!

[cstoczyn]

[DarthEquus]

And they made it without having to resort to CGI. Are you listening, Hollywood?

[cstoczyn]

@DarthEquus IDK

[RandomShellAccount]

I'm 37 and when I was a kid this scared the crap out of me.

First time I've seen this in over 20 years and it still scares me.

[SuperAb123456]

in my family when I or my parents don`t care about each other or we are greedy with each other, we call each other Scrooge.

[natalia24escobar]

Scared to death,

[cstoczyn]

@natalia24escobar GASP!!!!

[drootshnoot]

[elizagracedoolittle3]

[jconstantine100]

[Shanniquitie]

i'm waiting for the ghost of christmas past to just pause and bellow....a HAANNNDBAAAAG???

[longshotbrtn]

I've played in several Dickens pieces: OLIVER!, The MYSTERY of EDWIN DROOD, and A CHRISTMAS CAROL Three Times!! It is the most Amazing piece of Theatre!

[japanfan64]

Oh, that part with the floathing ghosts creeped me out as a kid!

[Beerlejuice]

@japanfan64 Yeah me too! Especially the one at the end, that ghost really freaked me out!

[cstoczyn]

[cstoczyn]

@japanfan64 Me 2

[PURPLE40ICE]

lololol.. I love Jacob in this,,,I would be scared too!!!!!!

[Masmosaic1]

4:40 to 5:00! A poplocking Jacob Marley; I love it!

[dartanyon77]

I never would have thought the character of Jacob Marley could be played with a slight comical twist but Alec Guiness does it beautiully.

[MrMontyBurnsDog]

@dartanyon77 Scrooooge.You must come with me to Alderaan if you are to learn the ways of...oh hang on..wrong line.I`ll come in again ^.^ You`re right tho.Alec Guiness could turn his acting to anything ^.^

[Grifiki]

"Yes, there must have been one particular character Dickens came across in his life, that helped him conjure up this story."

[TrevWks]

@Grifiki It was a commentary on the type of miserly person that the Parliament "poor law" brought into being. Scrooge stood in for a lot of people in England of the 1840's.

[Grifiki]

"Yes, there must have been one particular character Dickens came across in his life, that he conjoured up this story from."

[backwashedsasquatch]

Before Tim Burton....there was "Scrooge". A spooky holiday treat!

[drumrnva]

I dearly love this movie, so it pains me to split hairs......but why didn't they put makeup on Sir Alec's hands?

[creatornat]

@drumrnva ..LOL-Having done theatre myself, I noticed the same thing! It is unusual that it was overlooked.

[basiacomeout]

wait! Even better! three ghosts?? THREE HUMBUGS! LOLL!!!!!!

[basiacomeout]

Its humbug still!

[GoMidoriIsCool]

not a good idea to humbug a magical floating ghost wearing chains loud enough to blow out your ear drums lol

[farashahanem]

@GoMidoriIsCool ESPECIALLY when said magical floating ghost wearing chains is Obi-Wan Kenobi! XD
