DOUBLE FEATURE with "A Charlie Brown Christmas"
Requested every year sine we (the Tuesday night patrons) "discovered it" together, this incredible story plays like a cross between A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life.
George Vale Melton (Harry Carey), Allan Chadwick (C. Aubrey Smith) and Michael O'Brien (Charles Winninger) are rich but lonely, so they invite a pair of strangers, schoolteacher Jean Lawrence (Jean Parker) and cowboy James Houston (Richard Carlson) to their house for dinner on Christmas Eve. Both James and Jean seem to hit it off, but the next day...well, things don't always go as planned. Features a story of redemption and faith.
“Beyond Christmas” is a warm holiday story that touches the heart, no matter what time of the year or season. Bring the whole family and introduce them to what could be their new, all-time, holiday fave!
(PS: it's also George's (our executive director and the man behind these Tuesday movies) birthday. Shhhh don't tell him we blabbed!)
