On this week's special holiday episode, we take on director Bob Clark's Christmas classic A CHRISTMAS STORY starring Melinda Dillon, Darren McGavin, and Peter Billingsley as Ralphie. The film was produced by Clark along with Rene Dupont from a screenplay written by Clark, Leigh Brown, and Jean Shepherd, based on Shepard's novel "In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash."
Based on the humorous writings of author Jean Shepherd, this beloved holiday movie follows the wintry exploits of youngster Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley), who spends most of his time dodging a bully (Zack Ward) and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift, a "Red Ryder air rifle." Frequently at odds with his cranky dad (Darren McGavin) but comforted by his doting mother (Melinda Dillon), Ralphie struggles to make it to Christmas Day with his glasses and his hopes intact.
