Events › Film Screening: It Happened on 5th Avenue (1947)

Join us for a showing of It Happened on Fifth Avenue.

A vagabond moves into a New York City mansion while the owner is wintering down south. Comedy ensues when 
the clever vagrant helps several strangers take shelter with him during the Christmas holidays, including the vacationer's daughter, whom the squatter mistakes for a down-on-her-luck runaway from an abusive father. Soon, he unwittingly has the mansion's owner and ex-wife staying with them, too!
