Overall the later short film definitely tightens it up, but this is still a fun novelty, and it really is remarkable how perfect Young is as Scrooge from the beginning.

Also there are songs. They all kinda sounded the same to me. There’s also a weird structural thing where Scrooge joins the Cratchits for Christmas, but also it still does the part where the next day at work Scrooge does the “I’m going to raise your salary” bait and switch to Bob the next day.

The later short film is a pretty faithful adaptation (though some of the casting gets revised, like for Christmas Past and Yet to Come), down to reusing jokes like Bob Cratchit doing Scrooge’s laundry and Scrooge foreclosing on his fiancée’s cottage.

My second favorite joke is how in the ending tag all of the adults are getting blotto on fruitcake and eggnog. The 1960s were a magical time.

My favorite joke is Susie Bruisie, a parody of the baby doll craze who instead of talking or wetting herself, turns black and blue when you squeeze her. A toy for the most sociopathic child.

It’s a very loose adaptation, but we do get the requisite scene of Mortimer seeing his employee Hawkins being happy with his family, and an invocation of “what reason have you to be merry? You’re poor enough”/“What right have you to be dismal? You’re rich enough”

Samantha, naturally, gets him to change his ways - not by taking him on a tour of his past, present and future, but by taking him to the North Pole to meet Santa, who is apparently an old friend of hers. (And she’s making Darrin dress up in a costume for Tabitha? Come on, you know the real thing!)

All in all, Stewart’s narration really makes this one, and I look forward to integrating this into my Jimmy Stewart Christmas traditions.

This episode was later adapted for television, General Electric Theater’s “The Trail for Christmas,” directed by Stewart himself. I would love to watch it, but I can’t find it anywhere online. :/

As with last week, there’s not a lot of fun ghost stuff, and Christmas Past especially is sadly just Some Guy, but there is a neat twist where they’re all the same spirit who change from past to present to future. It’s a variation I’m surprised isn’t more common.

It mostly avoids directly quoting from Dickens, aside from the obligatory “God bless us, every one.” Even at this point, A Christmas Carol was a story that basically everyone knew.

The framing device is Stewart as Ponset retelling the story to a boy running away from home, with Scrooge now a rancher in the American West. Obviously the boy has a change of heart, and Britt helps him return home with a Christmas tree.

In keeping with the setting update, Tim explicitly has polio in this version. Then it ends with Diamond singing “Mele Kalikimaka.”

It’s a brisk half hour, so a lot of stuff gets cut even as the major beats are hit. This being an audio medium, we don’t get a lot of cool ghost effects, and Christmas Present’s voice is oddly whispery instead of the expected booming.

The introduction in which Diamond explains the premise of the episode is surprisingly long, but considering this is from when this would have been a novelty instead of a cliche, maybe it was necessary.

“A Contemporary Christmas Carol” is exactly what it sounds like. Instead of telling the audience about one of his cases, Diamond retells A Christmas Carol in late 40s New York, with his regular cast playing the characters.
