I LOVE that movie. It was more MiddleFingerMomTom's era -- he
was born JUST after WWII, but in smalltown Michigan, we were
well behind the cultural frontier, so that depiction was VERY much
my childhood.
.
I'll probably watch it 2-3 times over the next day.

Did your old man fight with the furnace, too?

If you love the movie, read the book it's taken from "In God We Trust. All Others Pay Cash" by Jean Shepherd. It'll be going home.

Forget the name but the characters are all the same. You do sorta see the Bumpasses. But ALL the actors are different.

EXCEPT for the school teacher.

In this one the father is played by Charles Grodin and the mother is Mary Steenburgen.
