1970's British musical adaption of the classic Dickens tale sees the Christmas story come to life in a wonderfully gothic yet colorful way. A G-film for any audience, the songs are
top notch and Finney owns this. All three of the ghost sequences are outstanding and without spoiling suffice it to say the third ghost sequence brings a whole new meaning to the Ghost Of Christmas Future....The Horror!!
