[edit] ghost of christmas future
who here besides me thinks that the ghost of the future in this adaptation looks a lot like death from ingmar bergman's the seventh seal? because i watched this 4 or 6 times recently and i noticed that the hand looked alot like the skin of death from that film. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.175.1.237 (talk) 00:37, 24 December 2006 (UTC).
- I've never seen 'the seventh seal', however there's a blooper in the film. Scrooge's mother dies given him birth (the cause of his father's hatred for him), yet Scrooge has a younger sister 'Fan'. She could only be, his half-sister, perhaps this blooper could be added to the article. GoodDay 01:15, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
I just watched the movie and I can't recall any reference to Fan being his *younger* sister. 70.66.236.249 20:08, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- Removed the younger sister blooper, it's only in a book version (Fan being a younger sister). [THE book version, in fact (i.e., Dickens' original). Kostaki mou 03:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)] You're correct it's not mentioned in the movie. GoodDay 00:48, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Scrooge does, however, refer to her as "Little Fan" in the movie. It's still a blooper: The ghost says that Scrooge's father never forgave him for his mother's death, while the scene with Fan makes it clear that he did indeed!

[edit] Not until 1970?
The article says, "The film did not attain its current popularity until about 1970, when it began to be shown on television."
Not so. I remember seeing it when I was a kid in the '50s. (1958 at the latest.)
