Program Description

Event Details

For the month of March, we will be showing movies starring actress Shirley MacLaine.  Shirley is an acclaimed actress who got her start during the Golden Age of Hollywood and quickly started cranking out classics, earning a star on the Walk of Fame just 5 years into her career.  She was equally adept at comedy and tragedy, working across many genres.  Today she is respected and still working into her 90s.

On this night, we are watching Shirley in Vincente Minelli's 1958 film "Some Came Running" also starring Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

A former novelist returns to his small Midwest town after serving in the Army during WWII, to the chagrin of his social-climbing brother, and becomes close with an easy-going professional gambler and torn between two very different women.
