Thanks so much for posting. It's really funny that Scrooge sounds like he has an American southern accent!

This was one of the first filmed TV versions of Dickens' classic novella, produced by MIke Stokey {"Pantomime Quiz"} and Bernard Ebert, and filmed for them by Jerry Fairbanks, pioneering TV film producer [the set Vincent Price narrates the story from is similar to the one featured in Fairbanks' unsold/unaired 1949 pilot, "A DAY IN THE LIFE OF DENNIS DAY"]. This was initially seen in syndication, airing on Christmas Day 1949 in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
