Description: |

A Wild West setting for Charles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol," featuring Jack Palance as Scrooge, the most greedy and mean-spirited crook in the West. Ghosts of Christmas past, present and future open Scrooge's eyes to love and friendship. | |
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments: |
|
Staging of this Christmas classic takes place in the "Old West," complete with bar scenes, brothels, smoking, cussing, fighting, etc. Ebenezer comes around in the end, but the process of getting there presents lots of negative and adult images. |

Almost all children knew the story and preferred the more familiar version. Half liked this, half did not. "I liked seeing people happy at the end." "My favorite part is seeing Ebenezer with the past, present and future ghosts." |
