Holy hell is this just about the coolest thing we’ve seen all week.

Thanks to NewsNet5 for posting video from their archive of the Cleveland premiere of A Christmas Story on November 18, 1983, with bonus “red carpet” interviews with the star, Peter Billingsley (Ralphie).

Watch, and then count down the days until the A Christmas Story marathon hits your TV.

This article appears in Dec 15-21, 2010.

  1. It was really cool to see this vintage news story about the holiday classic. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 27 years since the film was released.
    It was also nice to see the interview with the late Darren McGavin. He was the perfect dad for this film.
