"The Stingiest Man in Town" will be shown in Echlin 101 on the Mount Carmel Campus at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 3.
“For 50 years, [The Stingiest Man in Town] has been the Holy Grail of the Dickens world, an adaptation that everyone wanted to see,” said Fred Guida, a former, part-time Quinnipiac communications professor and organizer of the event, in a press release. “In a nutshell, it’s big. It’s the single most sought-after version of ‘A Christmas Carol’ out there.”
The 90-minute musical stars Basil Rathbone as Scrooge. It was originally broadcast on NBC in 1956 – and then disappeared.
