What a great effect...the hearse at 5:10...am sure the folks who did The Mummy (1999) were paying homage to this film when the chariot was used to take away the mummy's invincibility. Bravo.
I normally don't like musicals-( I always fast forward the singing) But I have to say this is the best scrooge movie of all time. The songs are catchy.. not boring at all- plus the acting is superb!
the lads singing to scrooge at 0:46 used to look old to me years ago when i used to watch it. they look realy young now.ha. they probly will be 50 to 60 years old now.lol.
I love different versions of a Christmas Carol this being one of my favorite, Scrooge was very stubborn cause if it was me the story would have ended at Marley's ghost at the door LOL
Second only to George C. Scott. But I love it; took Mom to see it in 1970. Never walked out of a movie happier. All these songs are to never be forgotten. Totally underrated. What a game for a vandal to play.
Charles Dickens is by far my most favorite author ever! I love the Christmas Carol, I don't feel like I've had a complete Christmas without watching at least one or more of the many film adaptions. I admit that the version with George C. Scott is my favorite, but I love the story so much that I love and appreicate other versions as well including this one. Alec Guiness's interpretation of Marley is hysterical. Thank you for sharing this. God Bless Us Everyone!
@Grifiki -- in the book (and sometimes in the movie) Jacob Marley explains a little. He's been dead 7 years, and for some reason -- even Marley doesn't know why -- he's been permitted to be visible and audible to Scrooge this night. Maybe he's made enough of a penance so far, or maybe it's that the walls between the spirit world and our own are thinner at this time of year. But Marley says that he's watched Scrooge over the years, and sat by him often, without Scrooge's knowing.
I remember seeing the scene where Scrooge sees the ghost guy on the Hearse drive by, tip his hat and say "Merry Christmas Governor....Merrrry Christmas" - it was at the movies in the 70s. For some reason the audience laughed out loud. I failed to see the humor in it though.
Perhaps it was the Ghost Guys odd Hair and makeup...

This is the best version for me, along with Henry Wincklers" An American Christmas Carol", which is so underrated.
