Movie Review
If there any movie that I love around Christmas time it this one and I have see many Scrooge movies but this one ranks as one of favorite Scrooge movies of all time this is Musical version of the story and it was very well done in my view good songs, dancing and singing as well few boring parts but nothing bad this even had me laughing a few times and singing a few songs as well from started to the end it was a great movie and it rank as one of best movies I see yet also this movie I bring out every Christmas time because it is great as well now let me below tell you a few of favorite parts of the movie. note some spoilers.
Favorite parts of the movie
just some not a whole lot one of favorite part of the movie was when he meets Ghost of Christmas Present and they start drinking wine I think it of human kindness and start singing that was funny and great moment there to me from the movie I was going to give you a few more favorite parts but that will be giving away too much from this great Christmas movie.
Acting
this Movie had some of best Acting in years for a 1970 movie it is great Albert Finney was so good at Scrooge best one I see yet in my view also Alex Guinness was in as well as Jacob Marley he did great he even was scary some in this one as well this movie had indeed great top acting lineup.
one part they could of left out
if there one part of movie that was just a little creepy it was when he went to hell think it was he run into Jacob again and was put in office with men who look like wrestlers with big Chains that too me was a little scary it was too scary for some TV networks that I see it on years ago edit out that but TCM did air it which was not bad after all.
last thoughts
for years to come I will keep on watch it as long I can I had not many problems with this one at all it will go down for years as a Classic Christmas movie in my view if you have not see it yet do so because you indeed like it if you Like Christmas classic movies
well I thank everybody who have read my Movies Reviews this year I got a lot more plan for 2018 as I head into Christmas break here I wish everybody A safe Christmas and happy New Year.
