We are thrilled to sponsor this special screening of the rarely seen film High Tor at Suffern's Lafayette Theatre. It is the first time the film will be shown in Rockland County, where the story is set.

Based on a play of the same name, Maxwell Anderson's High Tor, the first "made-for-TV" movie in history, was originally broadcast on CBS in 1956. The play, produced in 1937, led to the preservation High Tor Mountain by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission. The TV version stars Bing Crosby and Julie Andrews in her film and television debut. Crosby plays Van Van Dorn, the owner of High Tor, who is being badgered to sell his mountain when he is trapped by a rock slide with some "shady" realtors. That night, he meets the spirit of a Dutch girl named Lisa, played by Andrews.

The HSRC thanks the family of Bing Crosby; HLC Properties; and particularly Bing Crosby's widow, Kathryn Crosby, who is delighted that the film will be shown at the Lafayette Theatre in conjunction with Rockland County History Month (October) and that the screening is part of the Haverstraw 400th anniversary celebration. High Tor went unseen in storage for more than fifty years when the film historian Joe Yranski, who had become friends with Kathryn Crosby, gained access to it through her generosity. It was shown at a members-only screening for the Film Society of Lincoln Center in 2005; again in October 2015, in Fort Lee; and now in Rockland County at the Lafayette.

Panelists at the post-film VIP luncheon at Marcello's will include Mr. Yranski; Jamie Anderson; and Martin McQuade.


Cancellation policy: Space at the VIP Luncheon is strictly limited. Refunds will only be given if space can be filled by another guest prior to the event. A waiting list will be compiled, and available spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Only those who have made full payment can be accommodated.
