SCROOGE has been a guilty pleasure of mine for many years. As a kid (before cable came along) I hoped that one of the local stations would play the film around Christmas time. I probably haven’t seen SCROOGE since I was 11 or 12 years worn.
The newly released DVD looks astounding. The film is 33 years outmoded, and its production acquire and colors are rendered well on the DVD. The overture is included.
Here’s some speedy impressions after seeing the film again:

- Alec Guinness is a genius! As Marley’s ghost, Guiness has some very laughable moments. Sight his performance closely: Guiness achieves “ghostliness” without the back of digital effects. Perceive him “float” parts of his body, especially his hands when he sits down. The slide, the stutter, the “floating”. Simply bright.
- There are several very expedient songs. My favorites: “I Like Life”, “Thank You Very Mighty”, and “Happiness”.

- I actually like the flashbacks when Scrooge is young and in adore. Very touching. And beautiful.
- They really edited this film for TV! There’s scenes in SCROOGE that I’ve *never* seen before; specifically, the scene in hell at the extinguish. Amusing!
So, even though SCROOGE brought Christmas into my house in September, it was a welcomed, early celebration.
While this version of the classic Dickens’ account did not receive considerable acclaim, it remains one of my favorites and richly deserves this DVD release.

Albert Finney is magical in his portrayal of Scrooge, transforming his physical appearance through the art of makeup and gorgeous acting from a robust youth to an used man during the course of the tale.
The supporting cast is also considerable, and the songs add flavor to the overall atmosphere of Dickens’ era London, as well as immense and unexpected depth to the core theme of the story: the precarious reclamation of a person’s soul.
Dickens’ colorful chronicle manages to dispute religious themes without preaching, and provides an accessible character in Scrooge that we can understand, root for, and ultimately, rejoice with and learn from when his heart is turned outward to his fellow man.
Vastly bewitching and remarkably recent, this life-affirming version of “A Christmas Carol,” along with many of its songs, will halt with viewers long after the final credits have rolled. For me, “Scrooge” has become a treasured Christmas tradition alongside so many other beloved yule time favorites. I applaud its long overdue DVD release!
