The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek

The College of New Jersey’s Alan Amtzis will introduce this screening and lead a Q&A after the film.

An uproarious comedy from Preston Sturges about a small town girl who finds herself “in a family way” after attending a party for the boys going off to WWII. She thinks she got married,but that evening’s events are all a little hazy. Sharp dialogue, amusing characters and deft slapstick make this a great American comedy.

Alan Amtzis is the Director of the M.Ed. Instruction program at The College of New Jersey where he also frequently teaches film courses. He holds a master’s degree in Film Studies from Columbia University where he wrote his thesis on Max Ophuls’ “The Earrings of Madame de…”. Prior to becoming an educator, he worked as a script reader and as a casting director for films, music videos and commercials. He is a lifelong movie lover and is a proud member of our sister theater, the County, in Doylestown, PA.
