An American Christmas Carol

“Charles Dicken's Victorian London becomes America's great Depression in this exciting new film”

Benedict Slade (Henry Winkler) runs a loan business in Depression-era New England, collecting on every unpaid debt by seizing whatever the borrower owns. On Christmas Eve, three ghostly figures turn up who look like three of the people he took from. Eric Till shoots it as a Dickens retelling for American television, set among the ledgers and foreclosures of a hard winter.
