@Trek001 actually, the part of the movie with hell in it was not showed on tv for many years when this was made. it was only after it came out on video that the hell scene was put back into it. and no, it wasn't a gay reference, but the fact that they were devils, so they had to be strong, and hell is hot, so they are going to be shirtless and sweaty. hoods also give them the executioner look. So no, it wasn't a gay reference. I don't think Albert Finney would have put up with that anyways.

"So I guess he is a clerk, in a long chain of events?"

It was interesting watching this again,seeing the things i remembered (i was 11) and some things that were a little different than what i thought i i remembered.tiny tim and the  young lady that scrooge loved i remember.It also reminds me of a young lady that loved me

@Nathalorial Another reason this scene was never shown, was because many thought it would scare children. I remember seeing Scrooge fall down the grave was scary enough. I'm glad I watched this additional scene as an adult.

Funny, Sir Alec Guiness played in this hell scene. He was a devote Roman Catholic, in his remaining years.

I really love the scene at 3:59, the moment he opens the door.

I love this scene because the door with multiple locks represents and reflects

his previous personality.I had watched this movie many times but I always think that

that moment is the high light of the film.[for me]

The way he opens the door with his brand new passion

and thoughts always makes me cry. What a wonderful master piece this is.

I love this movie. From Japan.

@epa316 Yes, but the point of story isn't that building wealth for oneself is the issue, but rather how one makes it and what one does with it. Scrooge made his fortune through predatory lending and was so stingy that he hardly used it for even his own pleasure - much less anyone else's; and as a result, he would have died friendless. As trite as it sounds, there's more to life than money.

The beginning of this clip could very easily be taken out of context...
