Our Veterans Day attraction is this well-done and highly respected drama that depicts the Battle of the Bulge. Battleground won Academy Awards for its screenplay and cinematography and it's easy to understand why. Excellent performances from the fine cast of talented actors.

Director: David Butler

Shirley's first feature as the main character is a skillful mix of heart-tugging drama, exciting aviation adventure, funny comedy (especially the teaming of Shirley and Jane Withers) and the hit song "On the Good Ship Lollipop". Great entertainment for all ages.

Plus, Our Gang (featuring a very young Spanky) in their 1932 comedy short Choo-Choo!

Three escaped convicts from Devil's Island (Bogart, Ustinov, and Ray) find refuge with a struggling shopkeeper (Carroll) and his family. The convicts not only end up helping out in the store, they also become involved in solving the family's various personal and professional problems.

Our season finale and official holiday show is this beloved comedy-drama. Father O'Malley (Crosby) is assigned to a struggling parish and finds himself dealing with its Mother Superior (Bergman) who is often at odds with him. The story has a nice combination of warm humor and touching drama and some of it takes place around Christmas, making The Bells of St. Mary's a wonderful movie for this time of year and a fine one to close out our season.
