Here’s our little conversation about “The Littlest Angel” (1969). Little Johnny Whitaker finds himself in heaven, under the care of Fred Gwynne, Cab Calloway, Connie Stevens, Tony Randall, John McGiver, and E.G. Marshall (as God). Not the littlest discussion, since it still ran to an hour and a half, but there were plenty of nostalgic digressions, leavened by a little aseasonal misanthropy, since I started out with a headache. But the Advil soon took effect, and things were merry and bright in the Tie-Dye universe. You can eavesdrop on our ruminations here.

Next week, “Scrooge” (1970) is undoubtedly more my speed (it’s not just a story; it’s a lifestyle), with Leslie Bricusse riding the coattails of Lionel Bart’s smash musical “Oliver!” Albert Finney and Alec Guinness (as Marley’s ghost) do their game best to put a fresh spin on Dickens’ oft-adapted “A Christmas Carol.”

We’ll be boiled in our own pudding with a stake of holly through our hearts, on this heartwarming Christmas edition of Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Join Fezziwig for a round of “Roger de Coverley” in the comments section, when we livestream on Facebook, YouTube, etc., NEXT WEEK AT A SPECIAL TIME: THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22, AT 7:00 EST!
