Episode 8: Henry Winkler in An American Christmas Carol

There is one more TV adaptation to cover from the 1970s, and it deserves its own episode. In An American Christmas Carol, Henry Winkler plays Benedict Slade, an Americanized Ebenezer Scrooge, and he's backed up by a supporting cast including Dorian Harewood, Susan Hogan, R.H. Thomson, and many more. The setting is moved to Concord, New Hampshire during the Great Depression, a perfect choice for this kind of story. Find out why this is one of the most underrated versions of A Christmas Carol.

Wow. I saw this when it was first broadcast. I was ten and I'd seen the Sim version and that's about it. I remember the scene with the chair...something about sloppy glue work instead of finely crafted workmanship. I haven't seen it since, but now I want to revisit this one.
