Alastair Sim's Scrooge was on Channel no. 5, but I forgot to mention it.

I'm now watching my stolen copy of Rudoph the Red Necked Reindeer. :reindeer:

Following the success of Carol Reed's version of Oliver Twist, it was only a matter of time before someone suggested another musical Dickens. Mercifully the songs were out - could you imagine It's a Kind of Magwitch? What's left is a retelling of Pip's progress in which the majority of scenes seem to be staged solely for the benefit of the big production number that never arrives and, consequently, tell this superbly crafted story in the most simplistic way. Only Margaret Leighton's Miss Havisham rings true, with Michael York (Pip), Sarah Miles (Estella) and James Mason (Magwitch) all miserably miscast.

I'm currently watching The Jungle Book, on BBC1, on the iPlayer.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Dec 25, 2018 4:33 pm

It's a live action version.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Dec 25, 2018 4:34 pm

The Jungle Book shouldn't be a live action film. It should be a cartoon, with songs in it, like Rudyard Kipling intended. Colbert

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Dec 25, 2018 4:34 pm

Now to see what's on the telly tonight.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Dec 25, 2018 4:35 pm

This film is so dark it's impossible to tell what's happening in it. It's like Alien v Predator II all over again. dontpanic
