Carol for Another Christmas is a 1964 American TV movie, written by Rod Serling as a modernization of Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol and a plea for global cooperation. It was the first in a planned series of television specials developed to promote the United Nations and educate viewers about its mission.[1] Originally televised on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network on December 28, 1964,[1][2] it was not shown again for 48 years, until Turner Classic Movies (TCM) broadcast it on December 16, 2012.[3][4]
The film was the only television program ever directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz,[1] and contained Peter Sellers' first performance after recovering from a near-fatal heart attack earlier in 1964. The film also featured Sterling Hayden, who had previously costarred with Sellers in Dr. Strangelove[5] and Britt Ekland, who was married to Sellers at the time.
