ROCHELLE — On Friday, July 28 at 12:15 p.m. a group will be gathering to watch Irving Berlin’s “Holiday Inn,” starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire.
In this 1942 Irving Berlin musical, Jim (Bing Crosby) and Lila are members of a performing trio who plan to quit and run a country hotel. When Lila says she has fallen in love with the dancer in the act, Ted (Fred Astaire), Jim leaves town with a broken heart.
After turning the inn into a holidays-only live entertainment venue, Jim winds up booking — and falling for — Linda (Marjorie Reynolds). But when Ted shows up at the place after being dumped by Lila, he too sets his sights on beautiful Linda. The best part of this movie is the dancing and the music. Come join the group as we go back to a simpler time in history.
Bring your appetite as we’ll be feasting on banana splits. Grandkids are welcome to attend.
