For fans of the 1983 film, A Christmas Story, a pilgrimage to the house where Ralphie and his family celebrated their legendary Christmas with BB guns, bunny suits and Chinese cuisine, is a must. The house, located in the Tremont neighbourhood of Cleveland, Ohio, has now been restored to its former movie glory and is open to the public for tours.
A Christmas Story, an American Holiday Classic
Based on the writings of humorist Jean Shepherd, A Christmas Story is the simple tale of 12 year-old Ralphie who wants a BB gun for Christmas. Bob Clark, who was then best known for his B horror films and the teenage smut classic Porkys, directed the movie. Set in 1930s Indiana, the film is a nostalgic and hilarious take on the torments of a childhood spent surrounded by bullies, embarrassing parents and well meaning adults who only have Ralphie’s best interests at heart when they warn him that he will shoot his eye out with his longed-for BB gun. A Christmas Story opened in 1983 to mixed reviews and was by all accounts a flop at the box office.
The film subsequently found new life when it was resurrected on cable television in the 1990s. Many fans of the film became acquainted with, and then obsessed by, A Christmas Story during TNT’s 24 hour marathons on Christmas day. A holiday classic was born.
