“A Christmas Story: The Leg Lamp” is a very humorous nine-minute short film, part of the 1983 comedy movie “A Christmas Story” directed by Bob Clark.The film has since become a holiday classic and has been shown numerous times on television during the Christmas season.The movie is based on a nostalgic comic novel named “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash,” by Jean Shepherd, the radio humorist, who also narrates it. Shepherd remembers the obvious things, like fights with the bullies at school, and getting into impenetrable discussions with younger kids who do not quite know what all the words mean. He remembers legendary schoolteachers and hiding in the cupboard under the sink and having fantasies of defending the family home with a BB gun.
But he also remembers, warmly and with love, the foibles of parents. The old man in “A Christmas Story” is not an enthusiast of anything, just simply an enthusiast. In “The Leg Lamp,” old Mr. Parker wins A Major Award after entering a trivia contest out of the newspaper, which asked for the name of The Lone Ranger’s nephew’s horse (thanks to his wife, who supplied the correct answer: Victor). A large crate arrives and inside is a lamp that’s shaped like a woman’s very sexy leg wearing a garter and fishnet stockings, much to Mrs. Parker’s displeasure. He insists on displaying it in the living-room front window, because it is the most amazing lamp he has ever seen. Of course, his wife is mortified beyond words!
This piece includes colorful photographs and the classic Christmas short film.
