CAROL FOR ANOTHER CHRISTMAS (1964)

A Carol for Another Christmas (also known as Carol for Another Christmas) is a 1964 American television film, scripted by Rod Serling as a modernization of Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol and a plea for global cooperation. It was the first in a planned series of television specials developed to promote the United Nations and educate viewers about its mission.[1] Originally televised on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network on December 28, 1964,[1][2] it was not shown again for 48 years, until Turner Classic Movies (TCM) broadcast it on December 16, 2012.[3][4]
The film was the only television program ever directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, and contained Peter Sellers' first performance after recovering from a near-fatal heart attack earlier in 1964. The film also featured Sterling Hayden, who had previously costarred with Sellers in Dr. Strangelove.

These films were originally produced long before the advent of High Definition TV, therefore they are best viewed on a small screen. HD TVs tend to stretch and skew the picture. Set your HD TV on 4:3 aspect ratio. (That was the old TV format). Please do not expect DVD or Commercial level DVDs from these films.
