A Christmas Carol (1949)

Oh wow. Found another one on YouTube, this one a 25 minute (!!) adaptation narrated by Vincent Price. The acting, such as it is, reminded me of bad community theater. But despite the bad acting, it has a certain charm.

To fit it all in 25 minutes, it's strictly bare bones, with the ghostly visitations focussing on the Cratchit family. And once again, Scrooge shows up, unplucked turkey in hand, at the Cratchit's house, this time dragging along Fred and his wife, for dinner. Did these writers think that bird was going to cook itself in one hour?

x-mess, teevee
