In this installment of "Four Star Playhouse", Charles Boyer plays Carl...a grouchy man who has grown to hate Christmas. For much of the show you aren't sure exactly why, but it all boils down to him having a falling out with his son...and as a result he makes Christmas miserable for all those around him.
This is a very good installment of an excellent series. While the story could have been schmaltzy or essentially "A Christmas Carole" all over again, it's original and enjoyable enough that it's worth seeing. And, to see it, download a free copy from archive.org.
