Trivia
Produced at Shepperton Studios, where another musical adaption of a Charles Dickens novel, Oliver (1968), had been made two years before . It reused many of the sets from "Oliver!" that were still being held in storage. Both films were photographed by Oscar-winning cinematographer Oswald Morris B.S.C. (Morris won his Academy award for yet another film musical, Fiddler on the Roof, the following year.

Errores
During the reprise of "Thank You Very Much" at the end of the movie, the crowd sings and dances their way past the booth of the Punch and Judy man, and the camera stops to focus on him. Just to the left of his booth, the actors can be seen stopping and turning back as they are now "off-camera". The next shot after the Punch and Judy man, however, shows them continuing down the street.

My personal favorite version of Dicken's classic tale.

In response to the other comment posted, I can agree. This version is not suitable for ALL ages. Parents should be advised to monitor their small children and perhaps omit the more dramatic scenes involving the Ghost of Christmas Future. When I share this movie with little friends under 12, I take care to either distract them from those sections, or omit them, thanks to the power of the fast-forward button. (But really, today's kids 8-9 and up see way more violent & scary stuff these days!)

However, having said that, I own a copy and have watched it faithfully every Christmas Eve or Christmas Day for nigh onto 20 years. It renews my spirit and reminds me of my responsibilities as a human being.

At the tender age of 12, my Dad took me to see "Scrooge" in the theater when it was released for Christmas. At only 12 years of age, the scenes of the Ghost of Christmas Future were quite vivid.

However, the movie made such an impression on me that it influenced my entire Life philosophy. "Mankind is our business" says Dickens through the Ghost of Christmas Present. This joyful movie filled with wonderful songs that bring me the Christmas Spirit every year. It also imparts the value of staying connected to matters of the spirit and heart, and illustrates the difficulties that arise when ones focus becomes only the material or the monetary. That is a valuable lesson to us all, not just at Christmas, but the whole year through.

I recommend this movie to everyone. Personally, I find it much more engaging and inspiring, not to mention, colorful, than any other version. The performances of all the actors are very entertaining. If you're the sentimental type, keep a hankie close by when Tiny Tim sings for his family at Christmas. What an angel!

Just my 2 cents worth!
