i remember this tv production well . even in black and white and it be a magical show . the cast be perfect . the song be all outstanding . the duet with patrice munsell and vic damone of it might have be be really terrific . the whole cast be just right . there have be other musical version of christmas carol but this be definitely the best . the story be narrate by the four lad a a group of caroler with the excellent song and stingest man in town . i be lucky to have the cast record on an lp and also the stage script with the music . both be real treasure for me . many of the old tv show be make their way to dvd now and this be one that definitely should be release on disc . while the cartoon be nice and it just do not hold the magic of the original live broadcast . this be one of my fond memory of christmas long ago .
