Scrooged (1988 Richard Donner)

Written by Mitch Glazer and Michael O'Donoghue, somewhat disappointing update of Dickens might have worked better if not given the Hollywood too-big sledgehammer treatment, replete with sentimental ending. Bill Murray does at least carry it all along well, with support from Alfre Woodard, Karen Allen, John Forsythe, the Marmite actor Bobcat Goldthwaite, John Houseman, John Glover, Robert Mitchum (still acting almost ten years after this) and Michael J Pollard.

Music by Danny Glover, photography Michael Chapman, edited by Fredric and William Steinkamp.
