Scrooge

Tonight's movie was Scrooge, the 1970 musical version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, starring Albert Finney as a great Ebeneezer Scrooge. He plays Scrooge both as the younger and the older man. He does this so well that when I first saw the movie -way back when- I didn't realize the same actor played both roles, and I was amazed they found 2 men who favored each other so appropriately. Alec Guinness plays Marley's Ghost.

Here's the musical number "Thank You Very Much" from the middle of the film:
