Harry Secombe, what a voice! To think this is the same Harry Secombe who was on the Goon Show with Peter Sellars and Spike Milligan just boggles the mind. An all around talented genius!

Jeez...that must be the most compliments Oliver ever got in his life...

That was a really beautiful scene. Mr Bumble although he is a jerk he has a really loving singing voice!

Sir Harry Secombe was a well-known tenor and comedian alongside Spike Milligan, and he made the song "If I Ruled the World" from the musical stage play _Pickwick_ his signature tune. That stage play is based on the Dickens novel _The Pickwick Papers_ , and this might have been a reason Secombe was chosen to play Bumble here.

Agreed

In the mid-70's I played one of the pickpocket boys in my Catholic elementary school play. For the next 30 years, I dreamed of playing Bumble as an adult. Finally, did so in Community Theater production as a 40 y/o. I loved every second of it, and I had chills every time I sang this song. I showed up on 1st day of rehearsals with this song NAILED....well, maybe not quite as good as Mr. Secombe.....but as close as I could get.

I took talent for granted back in the day. Saw this as a kid when it was first released and liked it so much. It’s only now I realize how great it really is.

This song is the most beautifully sung melody in this musical for me.

Mr. Bumble is the bomb, dude knows how to sing.

Wow, I'd forgotten what an amazing voice Harry Secombe had, and that Leonard Rossiter was even IN this! He's unrecognisable!

I love how he holds that note at the end. BTW, at 0:22 the camera shake looks un-planned.

The composer wrote the story and what a story. I'm sure he had the performers in mind when he tailored his amazing score to their enormous talents. Yes it is based on Dickens, of course. But what a talent upon Mr. Bart.

The wonderful Harry Secombe.

My dad would walk around the house with my little brother singing this song 😂 Great memory

Sir Harry Secombe was born in Swansea South Wales In his later life he presented "Songs of Praise" for BBC 1 Sunday afternoon programme One day the team were filming from a Church in his home town near the Gower peninsula It was such a long time ago But I remember being at the hotel where some of BBC crew were staying overnight after filming Sir Harry was also present Later in the evening In the Lounge after much persuasion He stood up and sang this song without musical accompaniment or amplification His voice was so powerful that I swear they must have heard it as far away as Cardiff He was a real gentleman also

probably the BEST musical ever made

14 second note, nice

December 19, 1843. A Christmas Carol was first published on December 19, 1843, with the first edition sold out by Christmas Eve. By 1844, the novella had gone through 13 printings and continues to be a robust seller more than 175 years later.

This is my favourite bit of the film I love Bumble.

gosh he can hold a note for time
