In Depression-era New England, a miserly businessman named Benedict Slade receives a long-overdue attitude adjustment one Christmas Eve when he is visited by three ghostly figures who resemble three of the people whose possessions Slade had seized to collect on unpaid loans. Assuming the roles of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future from Charles Dickens' classic story, the three apparitions force Slade to face the consequences of his skinflint ways, and he becomes a caring, generous, amiable man.

Henry Winkler stars in _An American Christmas Carol_, a re-imagining of the Charlies Dickens classic. Set in a Depression-era New England town, a ruthless moneylender named Benedict Slade is visited by the Spirits of Christmas, who attempt to show him the error of his ways. Winkler gives a solid performance, though he seems to have a bit of trouble acting through the old man make-up at times, and the plot takes an interesting meta turn with Slade bringing on the ghostly visitation by mistreating a copy of _A Christmas Carol_ novel that he confiscates from a debtor. It’s limited by its television budget and has a couple of story problems, but overall _An American Christmas Carol_ is a creative interpretation of Dickens’ work and an inspirational holiday film.
