We just watched it the other night in high def. Very nice restoration. It is narated by the man who wrote the book you can tell most if not all of it were his personal recolections growing up. A lot of people can relate to many things in the movie, it always brings a smile to my face and some wonderful memories of my own. It is a national treasure.

we watch it about 3-4 times every Christmas Day... we spend Christmas morning at the Holiday Inn Express... (we leave my mom and dad's house on Christmas Eve, stay the night in the Holiday Inn Express and then head on over to my in-laws' on Christmas Day)... this movie is part of our Holiday Inn Express tradition... then after the celebration at the in-laws' we head back home... and watch it one last time until the following year...

whenever my son comes across the word, "FRAGILE," he pronounces it, "FRAJEELAY." it's funny...

Jean Shepherd was a staple of late night radio in the New York City area. The movie is really portions of his book "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash". They are indeed true stories of his childhood.
