They were not going to show it where i live And since I looked up the contact info a nd emailed Them and talked them into showing it! I got a group of us to go
My husband and I loved the movie. 🥰😆🥲 All the feels. I am 69 and he is 71. They did Good!!! I agree a Classic for every year. 🎥 Yeah I was thinking is this 50’s or early 60’s. Well we had two station wagons when our children were young. That was in the 80’s. The movie is just so good!!! My husband said he never got bored. Around 15 or so years ago we saw it as a play at our local college. We took our grandaughter. We enjoyed the play but this movie is way better of course. We like plays and choirs and symphonies. We have tickets to see Jim Brickman’s holiday show in Louisville in December. Lord willing. We saw him a few years back ~ his holiday show and it was so good.
