In a nutshell

On Christmas Eve, the mean and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by three ghosts who attempt to change his ways or face the consequences in the afterlife.

Our review

This black and white production brings a rawness to the characters, while still moving at a fair pace.  You are left wanting a little more from the ghost visits.  At only just over an hour, fit this in to your schedule.
