Scrooge (musical)

Scrooge is a 1970 British musical film adaptation of Charles Dickens's 1843 novella A Christmas Carol. It stars Albert Finney in the title role and was directed by Ronald Neame.

The film follows the well-known story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly and bitter old man who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. These spirits take him on a journey through his past, present, and future, ultimately leading him to see the error of his ways and embrace the spirit of Christmas.

The musical features original songs by Leslie Bricusse, including "Thank You Very Much," "I Hate People," and "Happiness." The film was nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Art Direction and Best Original Song ("Thank You Very Much").

Scrooge has become a popular Christmas classic, often broadcast on television during the holiday season. It is known for its lavish production, memorable songs, and Albert Finney's critically acclaimed performance as Scrooge.
