For Your Lenten Friday Night at the Movies V

It is getting towards the end of the Season of Lent. I don't know about you, but this time around Lent seems to be flying by at warp speed. Before you know it, we will be celebrating the Resurrection. Saints be praised!

Did you guys enjoy last week's selection? I love pulling out the older black and white movies, listening to my kids groan for the first thirty seconds only to see them get wrapped up in the story in rapt silence. That's what good classic movies do to you.

And I hope that is how tonight's selection pans out for us too. It has a catchy title: I Confess An Alfred Hitchcock thriller starring Montgomery Clift as a Catholic priest? Check! Karl Malden as the rational, systematic detective trying to crack a murder case? Check! Anne Baxter as the priests former (pre-seminary!) love interest to muddy the waters? Check! And a murder where a witness sees someone leaving the scene of the crime wearing a cassock? Oh My!

Have a look at what's in store for us tonight,



Remember, this is Hollywood, so don't expect "Canon Law correct" application of the sanctity of the confessional. Just have a good time, OK? Head to your local video source folks and get the popcorn a poppin'!
