Curiosidades
The clinic to which Benedict sends Jonathan to treat his polio was run by Sister Elisabeth Kenny, founded in 1932 in Townsville Queenland, over 2000km away from Sydney, which is where the last ticket went to that Slade gave Jonathan as a Christmas gift.

Erros de gravação
Near the end of the film, Slade tells Thatcher's son he's sending him to Australia to a clinic run by "Sister Elizabeth Kenny" (a nurse) to cure his polio caused paralysis. Such a nurse did exist and had developed an effective therapy to cure paralysis. However an American stricken with polio couldn't travel there to visit her. Her methods needed to be employed immediately upon contracting the disease and such a journey would take too much time. American patients were treated by their local doctor or nurse who'd read up extensively on her methods.

Citações
Thatcher: We know there's going to be other partings among us. A marriage. Long voyages. Even death again. But when someone is remembered with love, their spirit never really dies.

Deserves Full Praise As A Worthy Addition.

While I love almost all of the "Christmas Carol" films, this one really has a special place in my heart. I saw this movie many years back when I was not really a fan of Christmas movies and never went out of my way to watch them. This film changed that. I enjoyed it so much that I now eagerly await every December as a time once again to enjoy some of the classic holiday shows from times past. "An American Christmas Carol" is easily one of my favorites. And, as a previous reviewer felt, the ending of the Winkler version may be the best of all of the versions, although I still love the Alistair Sims ending (standing on his head!) Excellent film. And it deserves a place in the "Christmas Film Hall Of Fame".
