Code Red has dated and detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Glenn Jordan's
Mass Appeal (1984), starring Jack Lemmon, Zeljko Ivanek, Charles Durning, Jerry Hardin, and Helene Heigh. The release, which will be distributed by Kino Lorber, will be available for purchase on December 14.
Description: Should a priest tell his congregation what they want to hear instead of the truth? That's just one of the issues raised in this witty and thought-provoking film version of Bill C. Davis' Tony-nominated Broadway hit. Jack Lemmon is Father Tim Farley, a complacent priest in a wealthy suburban parish who drives a Mercedes and cracks jokes from the pulpit. Along comes idealistic Mark Dolson, a radical seminarian who accuses Farley of "song and dance theology". The result is a head-on clash that teaches each man the true meaning of faith.
