(‘a christmas story’ is a 1983 ‘american christmas comedy film’ based on the ‘short stories’ and ‘semi-fictional anecdotes’ of author and raconteur ‘jean shepherd’, based on his book in god we trust (all others pay cash), with some elements derived from ‘wanda hickey’s night of golden memories’)
(it was directed by ‘bob clark’)
(the film has since become a ‘holiday classic’ in the ‘united states’ and is shown numerous times on television during the ‘christmas season’, usually on the networks owned by ‘turner broadcasting’)
(as of ‘1997’, a marathon of the film titled “24 of a christmas story” has aired on ‘TNT’ and/or ‘TBS’, comprising 12 consecutive airings of the film on both ‘christmas eve’ and ‘christmas day’)
(can you say ‘overkill’?)
(the film earned director ‘clark’ 2 ‘genie awards’)
(in ‘2012’, the film was selected for preservation in the ‘national film registry’ by the ‘library of congress’ for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”)
