CatherineM Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Did anyone ever see the one with Susan Lucci as Scrooge? It was set in America during the Depression. Her best acting ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaBenedicta Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 [quote name='BG45' timestamp='1291554966' post='2191023'] I've never seen the Finney version...loved Patrick Stewart when he played Scrooge once! [/quote] Yup! Patrick Stewart rocked it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sistersintigo Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Am partial to the Mister Magoo cartoon version actually. Somebody went to a lot of care and trouble over that children's version of A Christmas Carol. Mr. Magoo, as Ebenezer Scrooge, actually speaks some significant lines directly from Dickens, like "a stake of holly through his heart! Bah Humbug!" Incidental songs by Jule Styne I believe, such as: [quote]A hand for a hand was planned for the world Why don't my fingers reach Millions of grains of sand in the world Why such a lonely beach Where is a voice to answer mine back Where are two shoes that click to my clack I'm all alone in the world, I'm all alone in the world[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Albert Finney set the standard for the character, not even Patrick Stewart surpassed him. Finney's version can be found on netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcasmguy126 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Ahhhhh....I LOVE "Scrooge"!!! We have it on a videotape, recorded from TV! I love so many of the songs, esp. the "Thank You Very Much" song! What a great film/adaptation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSister2009 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 My favorite, probably no one ever saw before. I found it two years ago on either ABC or Hallmark. It's called A Carol Christmas. Its great. It makes me so happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starets Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Scrooge was the only 3 dimensional charachter in all the Dickens novels I have read. Anyway, My favourite Scrooge is Alastair Sim. There are only two scrooges: Alastair Sim's Scrooge and all the other scrooges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
