The Man Behind The Movie
Many people
find this website in their
search for the movie, but
did you know that the man
behind the movie, actually
the narrator and writer, was
Jean Shepherd. The stories
which make up the movie are
but a few of the thousands
he told on the radio during
his 20+ year career on WOR
radio in New York. He did a
45 minute show 6 nights a
week, live and without any
interruption other than a
few commercials. He had no
guests, and rarely took no
phone calls. He is often
referred to as the modern
day Mark Twain. Visit the
parent website
www.flicklives.com to
discover the world of Jean
Shepherd and listen to some
of his radio shows from the
60s. Discover the books, TV
shows, and other movies he
was involved in. ACS is only
the tip of the iceberg!
