Rich Little's Christmas Carol

About This Movie

Rich Little's Christmas Carol (1978) is a quirky take on the classic Dickens tale, delivered through the unique lens of Rich Little's impersonations. It's essentially a one-man show where Little transforms into various characters, including the infamous Scrooge and the three ghosts. The pacing is a bit unconventional but fits the TV movie format, allowing for moments of humor and heartfelt introspection. The atmosphere is light and whimsical, underscored by Little’s sharp comedic timing. It’s distinctive for its blend of satire and warmth, showcasing Little's range in a way that feels both nostalgic and refreshing.

Rich Little's Christmas Carol is relatively hard to find on physical media, especially in good condition, as it was released as a made-for-TV movie. Its scarcity enhances collector interest, particularly among fans of television history and those who appreciate Rich Little's unique style. Though it may not have the same widespread recognition as other adaptations, it holds a special place for its comedic approach to a classic narrative.
