Thanks, not familiar with this one...


QUOTE=vaughanwilliams;50479287]Under the Volcano directed by John Huston. IMO Finney's most powerful role.

I always thought he was most known for Tom Jones, but my favorite is also Two for the Road.

Albert was offered 'Lawrence of Arabia' but turned it down. He could be quite picky......

His first real big hit in England was 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.' He was great in that one.......

The movie is available on you-tube.

That was an awful retelling of A Christmas Carol. Finny was annoying and the musical was just bad. Alec Guinness was bad in it as well. Funny thing about Alec Guinness, he could do brilliant work in dramas but when he did some comedic roles he was creepy or just bad. His portrayal of Fagan creeped the hell out of me. No wonder The Artful Dodger ran off to Living Island with Freddy The Flute.

Me too. I never liked him for some reason. I really don't know why. There is something about his persona that just says SMUG.

I was a teen when working at a movie theater when the film came out. Must have seen it 15 times...
