Produced as an installment of television's Shower of Stars, Maxwell Anderson's adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic stars Fredric March as Ebenezer Scrooge and Basil Rathbone as the spirit of Jacob Marley. Just when it seems that Scrooge has had his fill of the holiday season, a visit from the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future afford him the opportunity to seek redemption before it's too late. Featuring a score by legendary composer Bernard Hermann, this production of A Christmas Carol co-stars Bob Sweeney, Bonnie Franklin, and Sally Fraser.
