A modern reworking of Charles Dickens well spun yarn of redemption.
This
retelling of the story in which industrial tycoon Daniel Grudge (Sterling Hayden) a heartless bitter man who is visited on
Christmas Eve by the ghost of his dead son Marley (Gordon Spencer), who
scares him with tales of hell and warns him he will have further visitations to
give him a long-overdue attitude adjustment and show him the errors of his
ways.
The
first visitor is the ghost of Christmas Past (Steve Lawrence), the second
visitor is the ghost of Christmas Present (Pat Hingle) and the Ghost of
Christmas Yet To Come is (Robert Shaw).
Between
them they force him to face the consequences of his skinflint ways, and as a
result he becomes a caring, generous, amiable man and discovers the true spirit
of Christmas.
