Friends, a lot of you might not even know who Rich Little is, but in 1978 he did a version of A Christmas Carol using people he impersonated as the characters. For example he was doing WC Fields as Scrooge and Paul Lynde as Cratchett, etc....
It's really quite cute, and it' on youtube:
Viewed #LongestDay on YT free movies
Great #DoubleFeature with #ABridgeTooFar
I saw it at a drive-in when it came out in summer of 64 for 20th anniversary
#RedButtons was one of the few stars I could name in the movie since he'd had his own comedy series about an underwhelming spy impersonator shortly before
#JohnWayne was about the only other star that I could name when I saw him.
Now I recognize more than a dozen of the stars and character actors
I remember #RichLittle did a skit about the scene where the Duke gets his broken foot laced up and starts screaming in agony when he tries to imitate the Duke's signature stride
That was on ABC's amazing #CopyCats series. I cant figure out why TCM never tried to secure rights to show clips between movies. Also starred the incredible #FrankGorshin right around his #Batman years
