A CHRISTMAS STORY

One Sheet (27" x 41")
Near Mint Rolled; Artwork by Robert Tanenbaum
MGM/UA, 1983

The artwork for Bob Clark's 1983 holiday classic was masterfully designed by Robert Tanenbaum in a style reminiscent of Norman Rockwell. It beautifully depicts the Parker family each preparing for Christmas in their unique ways, with Santa Claus observing them from inside the chimney. This particular example is rolled and in outstanding condition, showing only slight handling wear.

Peter Billingsley noted that few major studios were interested in a story about a little boy in the 1940s who wanted a BB gun for Christmas. He mentioned that the studio agreed to produce the film on the condition that Bob Clark also directed a horror movie.
