A Christmas Carol (1949 TV special)
"A Christmas Carol" was a 1949 low-budget, black and white television special narrated by Vincent Price. Compressing the Charles Dickens classic story into a half hour, it is stated to be "the oldest extant straight adaptation of the story" for television.〔Fred Guida, ''A Christmas Carol and Its Adaptations: A Critical Examination of Dickens's Story and Its Productions On Screen and Television'', McFarland & Company, 2000, ISBN 978-0-7864-0738-5, p. 179. (Excerpt available ) at Google Books.〕 It was originally produced as a syndicated production for airing on 22 stations across the United States on Christmas Day in 1949. It was sponsored by Magnavox and represented that company's first use of television advertising.〔("Magnavox Christmas TV on 22 stations" ), ''Billboard'', December 24, 1949, p. 15.〕 In 1952 the show was acquired by Consolidated Television Sales for further syndication.〔("Consolidated Handles 'Carol'" ), ''Billboard'', December 6, 1952, p. 8.〕
The production is considered primitive by modern standards; it is also noted for misspelling Ebenezer Scrooge's name as "Ebeneezer" in the opening credits. The cast is led by Taylor Holmes as Scrooge and includes an early appearance by Jill St. John, then age 9 and billed as Jill Oppenheim, who plays one of the Cratchit daughters.〔〔("The Christmas Carol (1949): Review" ), ''Encyclopedia of Fantastic Film and Television'' (accessed 2012-01-21).〕
