	dOc DVD Review: Scrooge (1970)
		Scrooge has surely never looked better and this transfer will impress even the film's most discriminating fans.
		Scrooge has never been included on the short list of essential holiday films, but hopefully this exceptional DVD release will right that wrong.
		Back in 1970, I was an impressionable, wide-eyed 8-year-old, and when my parents allowed me to skip school so we could go to New York City's Radio City Music Hall to see the new movie Scrooge, I thought Christmas had come early.

	Scrooge (1970)
		Finney is a serviceable (if frenetic) Scrooge, and is flanked by some extraordinary co-stars, including Guinness's perfectly bizarre performance as Marley, and Evans' amusing turn as the Ghost of Christmas Past (when Scrooge says "You don't look like a ghost," she replies with a prim, school-marmish "thank you!").
		It is Marley who offers out a hope to save Scrooge from the same fate: Scrooge will be visited by three ghosts who will aid in the reclamation of his soul.
		The first is The Ghost of Christmas Past (Dame Edith Evans), who shows Scrooge the follies of his youth, and reawakens memories that have been long forgotten; including the day that he lost the affection of the love of his life, Isabelle Fezziwig.

	Biography for Albert Finney
		In the 1970s he made a transition to character roles and quirky leads, often unrecognizable under a mound of makeup-as the title character in Scrooge (1970), or as the chunky, mustached, insufferable detective Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express (1974, an Oscar-nominated turn).
		Originally tapped for the title role in Lawrence of Arabia Finney balked at the film's monumental shooting schedule and opted instead to play the title role in Tony Richardson's freewheeling adaptation of Henry Fielding's novel Tom Jones (1963).
		Though the quality of his recent films may be uneven, his work remains consistently outstanding.

	Scrooge (1970)
		As Scrooge, Albert Finney gives a performance that seems patently and obviously a theatrical one, although is a good performance nonetheless - he really convinces of Scrooge�s misanthropy in a physical way and lets loose with an acidic London accent that hits the character spot on.
		The story has been padded in a peculiarly oversized way, adding scenes of Scrooge�s trip down to Hell, flights through phantom-filled skies and flashbacks to Scrooge�s romance with Fezziwig�s daughter.
		(1935), A Christmas Carol (1935), Scrooge (1951) and The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992).

	Barnes & Noble.com - Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol -- Abe Levitow - DVD
		The five original songs by Jules Styne and Bob Merrill are wonderful-far more so than the disposable score of the 1970 live-action Christmas Carol musical adaptation Scrooge.
		Magoo's Christmas Carol deftly uses the device of depicting Magoo as a famous Broadway star, returning to the stage to essay the role of Ebeneezer Scrooge.

		Finney's first film was 1960's The Entertainer in which he shared screen time with the great Laurence Olivier; he quickly followed up with Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), a "kitchen sink" drama about a dissolute factory worker, directed by Karel Reisz from Alan Sillitoe's novel.

	Ma Barker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The myth of Ma Barker inspired a 1970 low budget film called Bloody Mama.
		The story is also probably the inspiration for the 1977 Boney M music single Ma Baker, the Ma Dalton character in the Lucky Luke series of comic strips and the Beagle Boys characters in the Scrooge McDuck universe.
		Directed by Roger Corman and starring Shelley Winters as Ma, the movie depicts Barker as a corrupt mother who encourages and organises her children's criminality and is notable for an early appearance by a young Robert De Niro playing the part of Lloyd Barker.

	The Seattle Times: Books: Backstage biography of Alec Guinness comes up short
		This led to Guinness playing Fagin in Lean's "Oliver Twist" (1948), Marley's ghost in "Scrooge" (1970) and, perhaps most memorably, William Dorrit in the six-hour 1987 movie of Dickens' "Little Dorrit."
		It was Guinness' own 1939 stage adaptation of "Great Expectations" (he wrote and starred in it) that led David Lean to cast him in Lean's 1946 film version.
		Read, who was close to the Guinness family, sometimes seems more interested in what Guinness was eating than in what he was achieving as an actor and writer.
