I saw that show when it first aired. It is still my favorite version of Charles Dickens’ classic story.
The REAL Paley Center for Media is my apartment.
What an awesome photo of Jim Backus!
I just viewed (for the 500th time) the film, “A-Lad in His Lamp” (the Bugs film with the Genie!) It, i think, even PRE-dates the first Magoo film…. (….by only months!!) His reputed “first film role!” It bears re-watching. What’s downright funny is STILL funny…..the “500th time!”
I wish I could see this. I’ll just have to get a copy of the DVD.
There are only 2 versions of the Dickens classic worth watching:
One is the live-action version starring Alistair Sim.
The other is Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol.
