presents More Than Meets the Eye

opens @ 5:30pm)
Set in 1953, this hilariously crazy comedy has Stanley, a young novelist in a
small town on the prairies, writing children's stories under the pen name
"Grandma Letty" for some quick income. Worried that no one will take his other
work seriously if they know he writes children's books, Stanley has kept his
occupation a secret. That is not easy to do in a small town! But complications
arise when Grandma Letty's books become world famous, and the big city publisher
demands that "she" accept her writing awards in person. Life magazine gets
involved, the newsreels are sending a crew, and Stanley's world is spinning out
of control. Stanley has no other choice but to impersonate his pen name - he
becomes Grandma Letty, skirts and all! |
