Scrooge turns folk singer in this mild-mannered reworking of the Dickens festive favourite. Everything is humbug to widowed architect John Denver until he's sent to a small town in the Rockies to clear the way for a major new development. Gradually, the mountain air begins to soften his cynical city soul, although it takes his daughter's rescue from the snow finally to persuade him to stand by his new pals. Never a great actor, Denver is too amiable to affect a convincing transformation from embittered careerist to tuneful nice guy. However, it's the cloying sentimentality that really makes this such a turn off.
