I've always enjoyed the Albert Finney version of A Christmas Carol.

It showed that Scrooge did have a sense of humor, even if it grew increasingly sardonic, tinged with bitterness and cynicism, as the years progressed.

I thought that the musical did a pretty good job of bringing Dickens' tale to life, which was a feat that most of the other adaptations have failed to achieve.

I like "A Christmas Carol" and I've seen several versions of it. But like I said before, I don't remember who produces what films. LOL!

Thank you very much! Thank you very much!
That’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done for me!
It isn’t every day
Good fortune comes me way
I never thought the future would be fun for me
And if I had a bugle I would blow it
To add a sort of how’s-your-father touch
But since I left me bugle at home
I simply have to say
Thank you very very very much!
Thank you very very very much!

Thank you very much! Thank you very much!
That’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever
done for me!
The future looks so right
In fact, it looks so bright
I feel as if they’re polishing the sun for me
And if I had a drum I’d have to bang it
To add a sort of rum-tee-tum-tee touch
But since I left me drummer at home
I simply have to say

Thank you very very very much
Thank you very very very much!
