"Rich Little's Christmas Carol" (1978)
Director: Trevor Evans
Scrooge: "W.C. Fields"
We time hop gain this time landing in 1978 for "Rich Little's Christmas Carol," a videotaped special of Canadian origin which used to run on HBO back in the day.
As might be surmised from the title and using the earlier discussed LP "Scrooge and the Stars" from 1963 as a clue, this features Rich Little performing all the parts in "A Christmas Carol" while imitating celebrities.
It's a big jump from his earlier LP, as the video nature requires Rich to be made up to resemble the celebrities as best they can and also have some trick photography so he can interact with himself.
