As Ebenezer Scrooge, Finney is incorrigibly unsentimental about Christmas.

SONGS BY Leslie Bricusse, who also served as executive producer and wrote the screenplay, are pleasant, bt unfortunately forgettable with the exception cf "Thank You Very Much," a bouncy number first sung in one of the fantasies when people rejoice over Scrooge's death and again when the reformed Scrooge celebrates Christmas by forgiving his debtors their obligations. As directed by Ronald Neame, the British production is bright with, humor and moves along at a lively pace in colorful 19th Century settings. CASTING IS excellent. David Collings as Bob Cratchit, the clerk, and Michael Medwin as Scrooge nephew contribute good-natured performances. Richard Beaumont as Tiny Tim leads a group of fresh-faced children.

The rest of the English cast do not have familiar faces, but their performances are good.
