One of my favorites.
He was absolutely brilliant as Churchill in “The Gathering Storm”.

He will be sadly missed, along with Tom Courtney he was one of the best English actors who came out of the 60’s...RIP Mr Finney and thank you... 🙏

“Two for the Road” with Audrey Hepburn was one of my favorites.

He was great along with Gabriel Byrne in “Millers Crossing”.

He’ll always be known to me as the best Ebenezer Scrooge.
Watch the scene in his office where he obviously ad-libs “Get off me ledger” and the cast starts cracking up.

IMHO, the very best portrayal of Scrooge.
His transformations were amazing.
Great movie, too.

TCM is running Finney’s movie “Tom Jones” right now. He was a rather hansome young man.
