"The Holly and the Ivy" Movie Matinee

  • The Church of the Holy Trinity 316 East 88th Street New York, NY, 10128 United States (map)

The Triangle Theatre at Holy Trinity invites you to a free holiday movie matinee. Join us in Draesel Hall for popcorn, drinks, and other nibbles, as we watch the 1952 English classic holiday film, “The Holly and the Ivy.”

Martin (Ralph Richardson) is a widowed Anglican priest who knows his parishioners better than his own children. Martin's detachment from his family is never more evident than at Christmas, when the family comes together to celebrate. While Martin's daughter Jenny (Celia Johnson) lives at home out of devotion, she doesn't have the heart to tell him that she wants to move out. Martin's children struggle to hide family secrets during the emotional reunion that brings back memories of World War II.
