Product Information

Unlikely but winning comedy of Ralphie’s (Billingsley) single-minded obsession to acquire a Red Ryder BB-gun for Christmas, and the obstacles that everyday life in 1940s Indiana can throw his way. Particularly great sequence involving an impatient department-store Santa.

Fun for everyone. Based on In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash, an autobiographical story by Shepherd. Followed by My Summer Story in 1994, also from Shepherd’s book.
