Editorial Reviews

Made up to look like a septuagenarian, Henry Winkler plays Benedict Slade, a Scrooge-like miser living in a tiny New England town during the Depression. Slade goes Scrooge one further by repossessing items from a poor farm couple and an orphanage on Christmas eve. While reading a copy of Dickens' The Christmas Carol in his home, Slade is visited by his own set of Spirits Past, Present and Future, including his Hell-dwelling late business partner (Kenneth Pogue). Lensed in Canada, this made-for-TV film premiered the week before Christmas of 1979. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

American Christmas Carolby Anonymous

July 12, 2006: I like Henry Winkler, I always liked him as Fonz on Happy Days and I happen to be a big fan of the Christmas Carol movies as well as liking the book they were based on but honestly I thought that American Christmas Carol was okay but not great. It is kind of boring compared to other Christmas Carol movies and I have seen other Americanized versions that I liked better.

January 10, 2004: This Americanized version of the Christmas Carol is one of my favorite films. Although the story is one familiar to millions, Henry Winkler's acting, the photography and the atmosphere mark it as a film every buff should have in the home collection. Increasingly rare to find - this is a golden opportunity to add it to your collection. I looked long and hard to find it.
