10 TV MOVIES AND SHOWS

"Shepherd's Pie": a low-budget half hour program that was a masterpiece of simplicity. It had no studio audience,
and used a bare set where Jean Shepherd sat on a folding chair, giving his famous monologues, talking about his
childhood, commenting on some historical facts, or even talking about the many attractions of New Jersey, past
and present.

Exploration of the colorful counterculture of Greenwich Village in the early 1960s. Narrator: Jean Shepherd.

The Great American Fourth of July and Other Disasters (1982)
Matt Dillon plays a young Jean Shepherd (author and narrator of A Christmas Story). Through Matt, Shep tells
several humorous stories about his teen years in an Indiana steel town. In the movie, during the 'blind date' scene,
Shep and his blind date Pamela, Schwartz and his date Clara Mae, are watching the movie "Love is a
Many-Splendored Thing". Clara Mae says to Schwartz "This is so romantic. It's just like us." In the movie William
Holden and Jennifer Jones fall in love and Holden goes off to war and never returns. In real life Schwartz goes off
to war and never returns.
The Star-Crossed Romance of Josephine Cosnowski (1985)
Going to a Polish Wedding Friendly Fred's used car lot Randy plays a turkey in the school Thanksgiving Day play
The boys eat at John's hamburger joint Scragging for Polish girls Dedicated to the Memory of James Broderick
(1927 to 1982) who played 'The Old Man' in Great American 4th of July and the Phantom of the Open Hearth.
The movies quality is acceptable but not the best. The most of the material is old and rare. If you are a Jean Shepherd fan, the enthusiasm will override the quality.
