I'm only docking this version of the Dickens classic one star because Henry Winkler will always be "the Fonz" to me, and I still hear the voice of "the Fonz" when Winkler delivers his lines as Mr. Slade, an American version of Scrooge from the Herbert Hoover era.  He plays young and old versions of the character, and sounds, to me, especially out of character as the old/new Mr. Slade.
