Content

Time to check out Scrooge released in 1970.

CONTEXT

Ebenezer Scrooge (Albert Finney) is the definition of a miser. He is rich, but completely stingy with his money, and he exploits the good nature of his employee Bob Cratchit (David Collings). On Christmas Eve, however, Scrooge is in store for a rude awakening when he is visited by the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley (Alec Guinness), who informs him that he is going to be visited by three ghosts, including the Ghosts of Christmas Past (Edith Evans) and Present (Kenneth More).

NOTE

Just click on the 'Sync' link, the full-length reaction has been split into 2 parts. You can either download the file or stream it. The bigger the file the more time it might take to load so give it a couple seconds if streaming. If experiencing issues, might be a little temporary issue for whatever reason so just wait 1h or so and try again should work. If issues persist contact me and i'll look into it.

The movie's audio is all over the place, some scenes are crazy quite (low dialogue), and some very loud (action scenes)! If you have trouble hearing some scenes let me know, if it's most of the movie just let me know and i'll find a way to reedit it to make the audio louder.

Thanks, this is one of my favorite versions of all time. *SPOILER* "Thank You Very Much" has to be one of the hardest disses ever in any movie, nothing like a song and dance number celebrating your death.

Scrooge- Thank you so, so much for your reaction for this beautiful rendition of one of my all time favorite Christmas classics, Timothee!!!! This musical is my favorite version of A Christmas Carol. I love everything about it, from the acting, to the music, singing and dancing, to the sets and costumes, and all of its wonderful characters. :) I absolutely love Albert Finney as Ebenezer Scrooge, and in many other roles as well. He portrays this stingy old miser perfectly. I love his overall story as the ghosts help him to find redemption so that his dark future isn't what awaits him should he fail to change for the better. I love Scrooge's path to redemption. It's so beautiful, heartbreaking, emotional, and I have cried many, many times upon watching this movie. Also... the makeup and prosthetics used to make Albert Finney appear so much older than what he was back then are spectacular, especially for back in 1970. The actor playing the younger version of Scrooge shown in Christmas past, is Albert Finney as well. His younger self in the past during the Fezziwig Christmas party is how he really looked in 1970, so he wears lots of makeup and prosthetics in order to age him up for most of the movie. It's brilliantly and beautifully done. I also love Sir Alec Guinness in the role of Jacob Marley throughout this movie. And as you recognized... Sir Alec Guinness also plays Obi Wan Kenobi from the original Star Wars movies, which is fantastic! I love him as Obi Wan, and I love him as Jacob Marley here in Scrooge as well. I love his dry humor and his charm that he brings to this role. And I love that we see Jacob Marley again in the end of the movie when Scrooge finds himself trapped down in Hell. Jacob Marley isn't ever brought back again after his main role of the story... to warn Scrooge of the three ghosts coming to offer him his one chance at redemption in any other version of this movie, book, or play. So I really love that we get to see more of Jacob Marley, when he comes as Scrooge's only friend in the end to welcome him into Hell, to offer one final warning to Scrooge. That he must change for the better if he has any hope of avoiding this dark fate awaiting him should he ignore these warning. I just love him. And then... I love, love, love David Collings in the role of Bob Cratchit, who is one of my overall favorite characters in any version of A Christmas Carol. Collings plays Bob so beautifully. He just brings so much life and joy in his character, and I love every moment with him onscreen. I deeply love his love for his children and his wife, and how he speaks with them all throughout this movie. Bob Cratchit is most definitely a loving and kind hearted man. I love his love for Christmas. Also... I especially love his song he sings in the beginning of this movie... Christmas Children. So beautiful, and he has an amazing singing voice. Tiny Tim is adorable. He always is in any film adaptation. And his story is very sad, but I love his attitude towards life and his family. In regards to his health and what causes him to die... it's actually never mentioned, not even in Dicken's original novel he wrote. However, over the years, there have been a number of speculations as to what might have caused his death, as well as what causes him to become crippled. Rickets is the number theory for what Tiny Tim might have. Rickets is a condition that results in weak or soft bones in children. Symptoms include bowed legs, stunted growth, bone pain, large forehead, and trouble sleeping. Complications may include bone fractures, muscle spasms, an abnormally curved spine, or intellectual disability. If left untreated, it could cause eventual death. And since back then treatment was expensive and because the Cratchits were incredibly poor, Tiny Tim sadly went untreated until Scrooge offered to pay for all treatments to help get him well. Because they could not afford the treatments. And lastly... I love, love, love, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future throughout this beautiful film, especially the Ghost of Christmas Present played by Kenneth Moore. Once again... he brings so much joy into this role and he's a lot of fun to watch. As are the other two ghosts as well. As for the songs sung throughout this movie... I love them all so much and I can't help but sing along with them every time I watch this movie. However, the few that really stand out to me more than the rest... are Christmas Children sung by Bob Cratchit, Happiness sung by Scrooge's love, Isabel who is played by Suzanne Neve, I like Life sung by the Ghost of Christmas Present and Scrooge, Thank You Very Much sung by Tom Jenkins the Soup Man, played by Anton Rodgers, and Scrooge, and then I love the end medley of a number of the songs throughout this movie combined sung by the entire cast of this movie. These songs are all beautiful, fun, and so joyful. I can't help but sing along throughout the entire movie. And this ending most definitely continues to make me cry every time I watch this beautiful movie. Scrooge's redemption, and the joy he shows just for being alive is so pure and incredible. I absolutely love this ending. :) In regards to Scrooge coming to recognize whether or not Tom Jenkins and the rest of the townsfolk were singing Thank You Very Much upon his death in the end as he's singing and dancing in front of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come... I do feel that upon discovering he has died in the future when he sees his tombstone and grave, that Scrooge does come to realize the people had been singing about his death. It's never spoken or even implied whether or not I am right to feel this way, but Scrooge knows he wasn't a good man before he changed in the ending. He knows that no one liked him, and knows that he never would have done anything to make everyone so happy and grateful to him. So, I truly do feel that he did come to recognize everyone was so happy because he was finally gone and they were no longer indebted to him. Besides... it is the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come's task to warn him what would have come of him if he fails to change for the better. The Ghost showing him a happy moment that comes because of him, wouldn't be a warning, and I suspect Scrooge had to have understood that. Thank you again, so much, Tim! I truly am grateful for your reaction for one of my favorite movies. I really had so much fun watching Scrooge again with you. And I cannot wait for many more movie reactions from you to come!! So, until next time, dear friend... Thank you!! Sincerely, Heidi

I’m glad to see my request is open to public patreon viewing. Once again thank you for doing it and I am glad you enjoyed it.

I am so happy to see someone reacting to this. This is my favorite version of this story. Excellent music and acting.

I love the Alastair Sim version. I hope you'll see that one sometime. My next favorite would be the one with Patrick Stewart.
