@AYearAtTheWheel the movie was based on the short stories & semi-fictional anecdotes of author Jean Shepherd, including material from his books "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash", & "Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories". People from Hammond Indiana are proud to claim Jean Shepherd as their own & even have a community center named after him. Hammond is my home town (altho I don't live there now) I never refer to Shepherd as co-author of "A Christmas Story".
Only in Hammond would they call Jean Shepherd the CO-AUTHOR of 'A Christmas Story'! What is wrong with you people?
