I recall seeing this movie as a child at the theater. It was an outstanding experience and a real treat to see again as an adult. Perhaps the best Christmas Movie I have ever seen. The music and tunes are catchy and lively, all by Leslie Bricusse one of the most talented composers and lyricists of all time. In addition to this film, he also wrote the songs for Dr. Dolittle and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The casting is excellent! I give it five stars all the way around.

The Albery Finney musical version of SCROOGE has always been one of my favorites. In my opinion the movie was well cast and performed. My only complaint is the technical quality of the DVD. I have two identical copies...one purchased used and the other [most recent] purchased new. I purchased a new one because the used one would not play in any DVD player. After buying the new copy I found it is a problem inherent in the recording company's DVD and BOTH copies have multiple dropouts, stoppages, and terrible static BUT only when played on a DVD player[s.] When placed in a computer system, the DVD plays fine...go figure. If you can tolerate only being able to play this movie on a computer or laptop it is a good purchase.

Great version of a classic Christmas movie. Item just as described. DVD in good shape, no scratches. Plays very well. Reasonably priced. Fast ship. Well worth the money. Highly recommend!!

I have many versions of "A Christmas carol" on dvd. One with Patrick Stewart one with George C Scott. And this one. I like them all. Scrooge a musical stands out because of the excellent acting and mostly due to the wonderful music. All cover the novel written by Charles Dickens very well. Turner classic movies will show this version along with the one made in the thirties. If anyone enjoys a version of A Christmas Carol that has excellent actors and great music I recommend Scrooge a musical.

First, the DVD arrived promptly and is in excellent condition. That having been said, "Scrooge" is my least favorite rendition of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Throughout the film, Albert Finney displays only one expression (like a bloke with a bad toothache) as the proverbial miser Ebenezer Scrooge, except in the flashback sequence showing the younger Ebenezer's romance with "Isabel," who turns out to be Fezziwig's daughter. The songs are, for the most part, irritating and overlong and are repeated frequently. That having been said, I freely acknowledge that individual viewers' tastes differ, so some may enjoy this version of the perennial holiday favorite. I would say that it's worth at least one viewing. My preferences for versions of "A Christmas Carol" are (in approximate order) "Scrooge" (1951, Alistair Sim), "A Christmas Carol" (1984, George C. Scott), "A Christmas Carol" (1999, Patrick Stewart), and -- for "Downton Abbey" fans -- "The Man Who Invented Christmas" (Dan Stevens as Charles Dickens, Christopher Plummer as Scrooge, 2018).
