is it a kind of dream?

George C Scott's version of the film, starring (who else?) David Warner, and Stricko as well. Stricko's hair cracked my shit up, yes. Did nothing for me, he was still the dodgy shifty looking bloke he played Turlough as.

I wasnt impressed by the film, having seen the same premise a hundred times over. In fact, i was bored stiff, fast forwarding bits that weren't David.

BUT, David's Bob Cratchit was spot on, and so against type (he wasn't a typical megalomaniac!), and so sweet and gentle with his son. Yes. He didn't munch the scenery when grieving for his son, it was beautiful and touching.

Did i spot Michael Gough at the end? Methinks so yes. Councillor Hedin/Arc of Infinity, Alfred in the Batman movies. Whee. I also think that the bloke who played Scrooge's nephew Fred is familiar, as Rottingham in Robin Hood Men In Tights. I'll have to check the creds on that one though.
