St. Andrew's at the Mooovies -- 7 p.m. Saturday, February 21, in Brooks Hall 5801 Hampton Street, Highland Park The Adult Programs Committee Presents Academy Award, Best Picture, 1947 Gentleman's Agreement Philip Schuyler Green (Gregory Peck) is a widowed journalist who has just moved to New York City with his son Tommy (Dean Stockwell) and mother (Anne Revere). Green meets with magazine publisher John Minify (Albert Dekker), who asks Green to write an article on antisemitism. After initially struggling with how to approach the topic in a fresh way, Green is inspired to adopt a Jewish identity ("Phil Greenberg") and write about his own first-hand experiences. Green and Minify agree to keep it secret that Phil is not actually Jewish; since he and his family are new to New York and know almost no one, it should be easy to hide. All are welcome, and Free Admission. We are invited to bring a Movie Night snack to share on the Refreshment Table. "Gentleman's Agreement" is a presentation in the St. Andrew's 2009 Winter/Spring Adult Education series, "Go Forth into the World." Addressing the challenges of living faithfully in our "Monday to Friday" world. BruceR http://www.standrewspgh.org http://revbmrobison.blogspot.com/
