Age Lift | |
| Scrooge (1970) / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: In an inversion of practically every other adaptation of the story, this one depicts Bob Cratchit as a young man, and Fred ("Harry" in this version) as middle-age. Accordingly, Bob's children are skewed younger than usual too – most versions portray the eldest daughter Martha as a young adult and eldest son Peter as at least thirteen, but here they're all small children. | |

Heel–Face Door-Slam: Scrooge pleads with the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come and while in Hell that he can repent and change his ways; Marley dismisses this with an indifferent "Bah Humbug". Subverted in that Scrooge wakes up alive in his bedroom, realizing he is not in Hell. | |

Men Can't Keep House | |
| Scrooge (1970) / int_171b1206 | comment |
Men Can't Keep House: Scrooge's home is very messy. The interior of the house is covered in dusty cobwebs, the walls are caked with dirt, the curtains of the windows and Scrooge's bed are moth eaten, implying Scrooge has lived like this for years. Scrooge isn't just stingy but also lazy that he won't clean his own house. It also serves as fridge brilliance because it can also be suggested Scrooge is simply too stingy to hire a maid or buy new curtains. | |

Acid Reflux Nightmare | |
| Scrooge (1970) / int_4e07ef21 | comment |
Acid Reflux Nightmare: Scrooge's initial explanation for Marley's appearance is this. Given that Scrooge's dinner that night had been provided by someone who owed Scrooge a great deal of money, it's amazing that Scrooge didn't take alleged hallucinations caused by bad food as proof that Tom Jenkins was trying to poison him. | |

Triumphant Reprise | |
| Scrooge (1970) / int_5da37ab5 | comment |
Triumphant Reprise: The first version of "Thank You Very Much" is a grave-dancing tune, but the reprise is one of genuine gratitude toward him after he turns over a new leaf. This is actually done without any change to the words whatsoever, just a change in context as to why the song is being sung. Also "No Better Life" and its light reprise "A Better Life". The first rendition of "Father Christmas" mocks Scrooge's complete lack of Christmas spirit. The second celebrates his discovery of it. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Scrooge (1970) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: "Fools who have no money spend it/Get in debt, then try to end it/Beg me on their knees, befriend them/Knowing I have cash to lend them..." This is true, even today. Scrooge is pretty much full of these, such as when he chides his debtors that they knew the terms of their deals and when they were due and it's not his fault they've been giving people deals or charity when they had their own bills to pay, or when he lambastes the charity-seekers for being insincere and lying about knowing Marley to get money out of him. His best one might be "There is nothing on which [the world] is so hard as poverty, and there is nothing it professes to condemn with such severity as the pursuit of wealth!" | |

Screen-to-Stage Adaptation | |
| Scrooge (1970) / int_99244825 | comment |
Screen-to-Stage Adaptation: A stage adaptation was first mounted in the UK in 1992 under the title Scrooge: The Musical, featuring the Bricusse songs and starring Anthony Newley in the title role. The show was revived in 2003 on a tour of the country by British song and dance man Tommy Steele, and he again reprised the role at the London Palladium in 2004 -making him the performer to have done the most shows at the Palladium. In 2007, Shane Ritchie played the part at the Manchester Palace. The musical was revived at London Palladium in October 2012 with Steele reprising the role. It ran till 5 January 2013. This was staged in Melbourne, Australia, in 1993, starring Keith Michell, Max Gillies, Tony Taylor, William Zappa, Dale Burridge, Emma Raciti, Ross Hannaford, Paul Cheyne, Glenda Walsh. | |

Destroy the Evidence | |
| Scrooge (1970) / int_9f4bec33 | comment |
Destroy the Evidence: Apparently, the only record of Scrooge's small business loans with the common folk in Camden Town is in the little black book he carries around. Tom Jenkins destroys it to general acclaim at the start of the funeral scene to free everyone from their debts, and when Scrooge turns a new leaf, he rips it up himself. | |

Adaptational Jerkass | |
| Scrooge (1970) / int_a91078ea | comment |
Adaptational Jerkass: The stage version makes Scrooge even more of a jerk than in the film, getting an additional song about how much he loves money, berating Marley's ghost after his visit, and denying any fault for his current circumstances. Jacob Marley is also more caustic onstage than in the film, getting even more lines mocking Scrooge. | |

Deadpan Snarker | |
| Scrooge (1970) / int_ae3d6438 | comment |
Deadpan Snarker: Scrooge. The Spirit of Christmas Present gets a good one on Scrooge: He also refers to the Cratchet house as "The lavish home of Sir Robert Cratchet, Esquire." Jacob Marley is arguably the snarkiest character in the film especially during the Hell scene as he is very sarcastic towards Scrooge and seems to seems to enjoy toying and taunting Scrooge. For example he sarcastically welcomes Scrooge to his new ‘office’ and literally tells Scrooge that his ‘chains’ are quite huge before sarcastically wishes him a Merry Christmas. The boys who follow and tease Scrooge also fall into this trope. For example near the start of the film the eldest boy sarcastically calls Scrooge ‘Father Christmas’ and another boy jokes that Father Christmas will send his regards to Scrooge as well. | |

Evil Debt Collector: Scrooge during the "I Hate People" number. He charges people more than 20% interest for a one week extension on loans (And that's weekly interest, not annual), and then helps himself to the goods his clients are selling without considering that to be part of their payment. | |
