The Amazon Editor who reviewed this movie obviously knows not of what he writes. This movie/musical is a beautiful and timeless adaptation of Charles Dicken's classic. The songs are powerful and the acting is true to the spirit of this tale. My eyes still well up with tears each time I watch this masterpiece. This film has played a part in my family Christmas tradition since I was little. Had Charles Dickens lived to see this film I believe he would have chosen it over all the others to represent his book. Now I hope that the music will be released on CD. "Thank you very much, thank you very much, that's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me!!!" I'm so grateful this is finally on DVD. I can't wait to get my copy. I'm buying one for everybody in my family.
