From Jean Shepherd's original radio broadcasts to Bob Clark's 1983 sleeper hit film and beyond, A Christmas Story has become a beloved yuletide tradition over the last three decades. This engaging book reveals -- and celebrates -- the inside scoop behind the film's production, release, and unlikely ascent to the top of popular culture.
This is the untold story of the making of the film -- and what happened afterwards. Ralphie Parker's quest for a Red Ryder Air Rifle didn't conclude with the movie's release; the tale inspired massive VHS sales, a Broadway production, and a mountain of merchandise.
