Shepherd was a man of many talents – he worked in radio (starting in broadcast radio in Cincy before broadcasting in New York City for two decades, sometimes appearing on NPR’s All Things Considered ), worked in television and film (PBS aired several tv movies based on his stories, and he wrote and narrated the above-mentioned A Christmas Story ), did live readings and performances at several colleges, and wrote dozens of short stories – many of which were turned into books, the first of which is In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash. The movie that has become holiday tradition for many was created by Jean Shepherd, based in part on the entertaining book In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash. My older sister, when recounting the day when I was 4 and I fell/she pushed me down the stairs (depending, of course, on whom you ask), will tell people I looked like “that kid from that Christmas movie, all bundled up in his clothes, so much that he couldn’t put his arms down,” and people instantly know what she’s talking about and lose themselves in sharing their favorite scenes. I don’t have an actual childhood memory of watching the movie, but I’ve understood for years that it was quite dear to people’s hearts. Red-Ryder BB guns that will shoot your eye out.Ī Christmas Story. A small kid bun dled so thickly in winter clothing that he has to waddle with his arms outstretched.
