PONSETT’S CHRISTMAS CAROL (1953)

Cowboy SantaBalladeer’s Blog’s Christmas Carol-A-Thon 2022 rolls along with Ponsett’s Christmas Carol. Back during 2013’s Carol-A-Thon I reviewed The Trail to Christmas (1957), Jimmy Stewart’s television adaptation of this particular radio play.

Stewart was basically cannibalizing a script from his own radio show, The Six-Shooter, on which that Old West version of A Christmas Carol, titled Ponsett’s Christmas Carol, first aired in 1953.

So here it is in its original radio format:

    Great posts as always. I’m not a huge fan of A Christmas Carol, but always find your posts engaging to read. While I have never celebrated the season of Christmas, I do love the ways in which it is depicted in movies. For instance, “The Holdovers” is a beautiful film celebrating the Christmas season. It tells a story of a grumpy teacher that forms a powerful bond with a student during course of Christmas. One of my favorite films of 2023.

    Here’s a list of my favorite movies from 2023 (“The Holdovers” is in the fifth spot):
