April 14 – LILIES OF THE FIELD (1963) Handyman Sidney Poitier (in an Academy Award winning performance) reluctantly helps a group of German missionary nuns build a chapel in the middle of the Arizona desert, believing him to be an answer to their prayers, in this warm comedy about faith and finding out God's plan for each of us. 

April 28 - EASTER PARADE (1948) - Fred Astaire and Judy Garland dance and sing their way to the Easter parade in Irving Berlin’s musical holiday classic; with Ann Miller and Peter Lawford and directed by Charles Walters.

May 12 - THE THIRD MAN (1949) – Orson Welles plays the mysterious Harry Lime in this twisting comedy-thriller as a writer (Joseph Cotton) accidentally uncovers a murder plot in postwar Vienna in Carol Reed’s great British film of 1949.

May 26 - THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (1962) - John Ford’s classic western starring John Wayne, James Stewart and Lee Marvin about the difference between truth-telling and myth; as a mild-mannered lawyer faces off against bully outlaw Liberty Valance with help from cynical rancher in a small western town, also staring Vera Miles.

June 9 - THE RAINMAKER (1956) - A wonderfully acted drama starring Katherine Hepburn and Burt Lancaster about a lonely middle-aged woman and her relationship with a charismatic con-man who promises rain in a town suffering from drought; with Lloyd Bridges, Earl Holliman and Wendell Corey.  

June 16 - THE PAJAMA GAME (1957) – Doris Day stars in one of the most ebullient screen musicals ever made about labor troubles and romance in an Iowa pajama factory; with John Raitt and Carol Haney and energetically directed by Stanley Donen (Singin’ in the Rain).
