The film is number 56th on the list of the American Film Institute's "100 Funniest American Movies".   The movie is open to everyone and is free; donations are appreciated.  Water is provided by the United Church of Ludlow.  All guests are asked to wear masks and maintain appropriate social distances.  Call 802-228-3238 for information.   -30-
