On this time of year, nothing is complete without a film like Scrooge made in 1970. It's based on the book A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. There have been so many film adaptions and even animations and TV dramas but Scrooge from 1970 is the best of them all in my honest opinion. It was directed by Ronald Neame and stars Albert Finney, Alec Guinness and David Collings. To find out more of the cast check out the page below.
Scrooge 1970 imdb
The film is a musical but it's a lot more than this. It's definitely spooky and it doesn't just include the three main spirits that visit Scrooge. Other ghosts including the phantom coach driver and ghost horses are chilling reminders of those who lived in times past are long since dead. The flashback to Scrooge's past made him remember that he was once happier. The film is like "Wizard of Oz" movie from 1939 in a way that it's the best version there is based on a story. Other many versions don't compete. The book and story and Scrooge 1970 are masterpieces.
I rate this a 10/10
Howls ^^
