Sunday Night Movie
Join us for the Sunday Night Movie on November 18 at 5:30 p.m. for "To Dance with the White Dog," starring Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. The New York Times called it "an uplifting celebration of a marriage that would last a lifetime." After 50 years of marriage, Sam Peek (Cronyn) is facing life without his wife Cora (Tandy) when a mysterious white dog appears at his home. When the Sam begins to make the dog his companion and confidant, his well-meaning, but overly protective adult children worry that Sam may be losing it. Cronyn won a Best Actor Emmy for his role. Discussion will be led by Jan Parkinson. Popcorn and soda will be provided. Feel free to bring a snack to share.
