A Christmas Story (1983 Bob Clark & co-scr, co-prod)

I thought this and Black Christmas (1974) were back-to-back - I was wrong. Clark also directed the infamous Porky's (1981). Covered here.

I had only been thinking of the scene where the boy is so wrapped up against the cold that he can barely walk - and not remembering what it was from. And Q had had the same kind of deja vu moment with the leg lamp!

I read that Clark made a sequel in the nineties, It Runs in the Family, also based on Jean Shepherd's reminiscences, but it doesn't work nearly so well.
