A Christmas ghost at Halloween
>> Tuesday, October 28, 2008
In the 1970 musical version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol entitled Scrooge, Sir Alec Guinness renders one of the creepiest performances of the ghost of Scrooge's deceased partner, Jacob Marley I've ever seen. Complete with rattling chains and plenty of groans, this ghost may be foretelling of Christmas, but is most certainly welcome at Halloween.

I love Alec Guinness!! And I can't believe I haven't seen this version. Where has it been hiding? My fave has always been the Alistair Sim version, but this looks great. I love the way he is floating around the room!
Oh, you need to see this version. It's really outstanding. And Albert Finney as Ebenezer Scrooge is impeccable. It was made by the same people who did the film of the musical "Oliver!".
