Bob Clark became an immensely successful director on the strength of two very different films - the classic teen ****** comedy Porky's and the perennial holiday family classic A Christmas Story. This documentary traces the man's life and career from his early days in Canada, right up through his untimely death at the hands of a drunk driver. Perry Seibert, Rovi
If a documentary can be a Christmas classic, this is it!

Excellent! Highly recommend. A story of a storyteller, Bob Clark, the director of "A Christmas Story". If a documentary can become a Christmas classic, it'll surely be this one. I saw a screening of this for "A Christmas Story" house in Cleveland, last year. Just ordered this DVD and can't wait to get it!
Fantastic insight into the life and tragic death of Bob Clark, the director of the revered holiday classic film, "A Christmas Story". This is jam-packed with big stars like Kim Cattrall, Jon Voight, Denise Richards, Mary Steenburgen, Scott Baio, and of course, Peter Billingsley who plays "Ralphie" in Bob Clark's legacy film, "A Christmas Story". "Clarkworld" also has some edge to it and It also explores the good, bad and uglyof Bob Clark's career. Any fan
of any of Clark's films like "Black Christmas", "Porky's", "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things", and especially fans of "A Christmas Story" MUST SEE this film. I normally am not a fan of documentaries but this was very compelling and a wonderful sentimental journey like "A Christmas Story". This should be on TNT as a wraparound film for the 24 hour ACS marathon. SEE THIS FILM.
