Revisiting Blogmas Day 19 Scrooge 1970 Re-watch

One of my only fond memories of my time at the Maths School, perhaps my only one, was having the original musical version of Scrooge played on a big screen in the school hall. It was full of life, colour and humour and it had a real atmosphere of Dickensian fun. It covers the main beats of the story as well as adding a scene that goes to Hell itself, which is great fun but not necessarily effective. Even when it misses a beat like that, it’s brio carries it through. It’s simply marvellous as my review below suggests.
