The Bellaire City Library presents its Monthly Classic Movie, May 14 at 1pm.
In Spencer's Mountain, Henry Fonda and Maureen O’Hara, exhibiting the rare exciting chemistry for which they were known, star as the parents of the younger generation of a huge extended family. Their oldest son, Clayboy, is the first Spencer to ever graduate from high school, and as the top student in the school has a burning desire to go to college. Coming from a family of quarry workers the obstacles seem to be insurmountable. The cast includes James MacArthur as Clayboy and Wally Cox as the charming preacher Clyde Goodman, set on out-witting the irreligious Fonda.
The 1963 comedy was based on the novel by Earl Hammer, Jr. and served as inspiration for the long–running television series, "The Waltons." Spencer’s Mountain combines the beauty of the Wyoming mountains with the earthy, rambunctious humor of a family of nine children.
