<P> A soundtrack album containing all the songs from the film was issued on Columbia Records in 1970 . Due to legal complications, however, the soundtrack has never been re-released in the CD format . The current Paramount Blu - ray release of the film has removed the Overture (intact on all VHS and DVD releases). </P> <P> The film features an opening title sequence of numerous hand - painted backgrounds and overlays by British illustrator Ronald Searle . Art of the Title described it, saying, "As is often the case with Searle's illustrations, the forms jump and squiggle into shape, the strokes loose and sprightly . In each scene, swaths of colour and life pour out, white snowflakes dotting the brush strokes ." The illustrations later appeared in a book, Scrooge, by Elaine Donaldson and published in 1970 by Cinema Center Films . </P> <P> The film was nominated for a BAFTA Film Award in the UK, one Golden Laurel award, four Oscars, and five Golden Globes in the USA, in which Albert Finney won for The Best Motion Picture Actor in a Musical / Comedy in 1971 . Finney was only 34 years old at the time he was chosen to play both the old miser and the young man Scrooge of flashback scenes, but his performance was widely praised by the critics and the public . Several critics, however, found fault with Leslie Bricusse's score . </P> <Dl> <Dt> Academy Award nominations </Dt> </Dl>
