Easter classic
Who would possibly want to miss this wonderfully entertaining piece of film that taught us so much about our lives?

In 1956 this masterpiece was made, fully reflecting all the good Biblical teachings that, in my opinion, ought to govern every household in the earth through the end of eternity.

The info on this film is as follows (for anyone who cares for a refresher):

I remember my mother telling the story of going to see this film at the theater house with her younger brother (my Godfather as well). She recalled she was able to suck down two cherry Cokes before spending around 45 minutes being terribly afraid to crawl over my uncle for a trip to the restroom....and the movie was STILL not over...

All laughs aside, may I pay my special tribute tonight to this well-loved movie in my collection!!!
