APRIL’S MOVIE AT OLD CITY HALL

 April is when many of us turn our attention to what used to be called our national pastime… baseball.  So, what better time to run TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME,  a delightful musical comedy starring Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Esther Williams, and Edward Arnold.  The film’s plot is a stretch, but with that cast… who cares?  Photographed in some of the best Technicolor ever seen, the film’s story is set in 1906 and it glows with absolute joy.  MGM grossed an astounding four million dollars (in 1949 money) on this film so it easily ranks as one of the most popular “baseball” films ever made.  One reviewer wrote, “The American pastime was never more fun.”  That certainly describes watching the duo Sinatra and Kelly dance routines.  Add Jules Munshin and Betty Garrett for comedy and TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME becomes a fun-filled romp for the whole family.

Show time is scheduled for Friday, April 19th, at 7 PM.  Doors open at 6:30 PM.  See you at the movies!
