A CHRISTMAS STORY
Saturday, December
3, 2005
December's classic movie will be "A CHRISTMAS STORY" starring
Peter Billingsley, Melinda Dillon, and Darren McGavin. This is a comedy of
a boy's obsession to acquire a Red Ryder BB-gun for Christmas, during the
1940s. It's based on Jean Sheperd's autobiographical story "In God We
Trust, All Others Pay Cash." The grouchy department-store Santa is a
must see! Filmed in 1983, this movie is a treat for all. So, do join us on
Saturday, Dec. 3rd at the Redford, 17360 Lahser Rd., Detroit, just a few
doors north of Grand River. Lighted and supervised parking is adjacent to
the theatre. …. Surely an entertaining evening for only $4.00! Meet in
the lobby at 7:30 p.m. Call Brian 248-626-6192 |
 
A CHRISTMAS STORY
How
it was …

December’s classic movie “A CHRISTMAS STORY” starring Peter Billingsley, Melinda Dillon, and
Darren McGavin is a comedy of a boy’s obsession to acquire a Red Ryder
BB-gun for Christmas, during the 1940s. With Plenty of popcorn, soda, and
a ton of laughs, our group of
theater goers enjoyed this film, as many of us could relate to the child
who just had to get that specific toy! As part of the festivities, a model
railroad was set up on stage that included several operational trains, a
town with a moon, river and falls. Also,
as a regular attraction to the movies at the Redford is the famous Barton
Theatre Pipe Organ, always played by an expert musician, so, we were
entertained before and during the intermission by numerous Christmas
melodies. It hasn’t happened yet, but it’s just a matter of time when
one of us will win their 50/50 drawing.
As the snow began to fall outside, we decided to go
to Mr. Joe’s for a late night snack, where they serve beer (including
Guinness) and buffalo burgers (two burgers for the price of one). Our
entertainment was live karaoke, and we were surprised to see a former
children’s cartoon host from the audience stand up and sing for us. If
you are old enough to remember, and grew up in the Detroit area, you would
remember Johnny Ginger.
We will be planning another old-time movie night at
the Redford Theatre in the near future, so, keep your eye on your GMSC
calendar of events.
