R.I.P. Mr Finney. What a legend. What a cutie at 24, & was captivating.

[marciamqs]

I absolutely love him. He will be my favorite and only Ebenezer Scrooge. I was devastated when I heard about his passing. May the lord be with you now.

ALBERT FINNEY RIP

.

Ihad worked on two films in which he starred.

We chatted about my favourite Christmas film Scrooge (1970 film).

The next day Albert brought in an envelope and inside was a still from the film and signed to me and then now exwife Carol.

What a brilliant actor and very sweet man he was.

My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Rip Albert Finney. Very good looking young man!! Best actor of his time. From England too. Love his accent. ❤️

[estellacoggins]

One of my favorite great actors and my list is small. He was the greatest in Miller's Crossing, RIP Albert Finney.

[theflorgeormix]

the definitive Scrooge of all times. deep fulfilling work

[Loverboy]

Shocked to hear the news today on Twitter, '' RIP'' Albert.

[rdlewis]

Did he say he was 25 at the time of this interview? Much more serious and intelligent than the shallow interviews of today. How many mid-20s people today could go this deep? It feels like we are suffering from extended adolescence today.

A GREAT ACTOR, WHO HAS REMAINED VERY GROUNDED ALL HIS LIFE. DISAPPOINTED THAT THE INCOMPARABLE ''TOM JONES'' WASN'T DISCUSSED MUCH, IF AT ALL. I'VE JUST BOUGHT THE NEW BFI RELEASE OF THE FILM, WITH BOTH DIRECTORS CUT AND THE THEATRE ISSUE, PLUS VERY GOOD EXTRAS. IN BLU RAY AND DVD, WHAT A FANTASTIC SUPPORT CAST TO.

[babbaruff]

I quite like and respect the fact that he wasn't extremely ambitious, he just wanted to enjoy & experience life. 'Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time' after all 😎

[thetrumpnewsnetwork]

The only Scrooge who is fit to watch at Christmas. Big Fish was also amazing.

[RedcoatsReturn]

The also great Robert Robertson, an intellectual and very clever and literate man, master host of quiz shows but in his interviewing element here. Great also to see a young brilliant, deep thinking Albert Finney, you can hardly hear a northern accent at all in the first interview, perhaps he was acting!

I met Mr. Finney on the set of Wolfen. He was charming. R.I.P.
