Wacka Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Trivia: The narrator, Jean Shepard, thereal Ralphie and writer of the movie., appears in a cameo. He is the guy with the beard and wearing a hat in the department store that tells Ralphie and his brother the line starts over there. He was married to the actress Lois Nettleson for 6 years and is the voice of the father in the Carousel of Progress at Disney World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 "In the heat of battle my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan. " and Mother: All right. Now, are you ready to tell me where you heard that word? Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master. But, I chickened out and said the first name that came to mind. Ralphie: Schwartz! My parents said that everything looked authentic in that movie. They didn't make any mistakes with the sets or props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I recently had to watch Absence of Malice and was delighted to see Melinda Dillon. A little poking around showed she got a nom for what I thought was a far inferior role! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 My parents said that everything looked authentic in that movie. They didn't make any mistakes with the sets or props. My Dad loved it for that reason. Totally reminded him of being a kid in the MidWest in the '40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work (In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash) revolves around and takes place in the Gary, Hammond, Cedar Lake region of Indiana... And Shepherd was a Sox fan too!

Nervous Guy Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I just watched it again last night, and I still don't know! 9. The Bumpuses – A Christmas Story (1983) Like I wrote in the previous entry, bad neighbors usually come with dogs, and nothing is truer of the Parkers’ hillbilly neighbors the Bumpuses. They actually owned 785 smelly hound dogs that apparently ignored every other human being on earth other than Mr. Parker (Darren McGavin). They attack the poor man every day when he comes home from work. Where are these damn hillbillies anyway? Do they really not care that their awful dogs are physically assaulting another person? The worst comes on Christmas morning as the dogs come crashing in at just the mere smell of turkey. So basically you can’t have a decent meal with your family if you live next door to these fools because their dogs will literally crash the party. The only good thing that came out of this disaster was that the Parkers were introduced to Chinese turkey. I really have to give Mr. Parker credit on the way he dealt with his neighbors. He never confronted them or called the cops. He just yelled, “Son of bitches! Bumpuses!” and close the door on one of the dog’s ears. If those dogs had attacked me, destroyed my house and the Bumpuses made no attempt to fix it, well I would have grabbed Ralphie’s Red Rider BB gun and started picking off the smelly hounds one by one. http://www.scene-stealers.com/top-10/top-1...ovie-neighbors/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
