"Ebenezer" is a 1997 Canadian television production re-telling of Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol" with Jack Palance giving a performance as Ebenezer Scrooge, a la western genre. Palance, after a half-century of screen presence, in one of his final projects before retirement. A TV film with high production value, it debuted in the United States on Turner Network Television. Otherwise, a somewhat obscure and rarely-seen title.
