Ivy Hall Nights at the Movies presents… 

The Priesthood in Film
Throughout 2016, on the third Thursday of each month, we will be showing a film in Ivy Hall’s ballroom featuring a different cinematic portrayal of a priest. You’re invited to join us as we explore these various portrayals and discuss, during the social period following each film, the good, the bad, and the ugly of Hollywood’s depictions of the Catholic Church in general and the priesthood in particular.  

For the month of February, our film will be…

Elia Kazan’s On the Waterfront (1954)
An ex-prize fighter turned longshoreman struggles to stand up to his corrupt union bosses. This leads him into contact with the challenging figure of Father Barry.

Starring: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb. 

Feel free to bring your own favorite lawn chair, camping chair, bean-bag lounge, or other portable furniture to make yourself comfortable during the movie! (Aluminum folding chairs will be provided for all guests, but it’s good to be able to curl up in a favorite and familiar piece of furniture while enjoying a good film.)
