Title: Wonderful Version of the Dickens Classic
Product review: I was hooked on Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol from its first broadcast on television in 1962. Even after it disappeared from television for a while, I could still remember all the songs, memorized back when I was seven and eight years old. The idea of making the Carol a play Magoo was appearing in on Broadway was a stroke of genius; the wraps with the "Back on Broadway" song are done for laughs and then the Carol portion is fairly serious with only a few sight gags. I love all the songs, and several of them can leave me in tears, and of course everyone remembers "razzleberry dressing"! The new DVD version is wonderful, crisp, clean, bright, and with good sound. Some commentary or even a small making-of special might have been nice, but in the end, I don't care: when I play the DVD, it's 1962 and I'm singing along to the songs all over again.
