Come join the Socialist Party NYC local for our monthly Liberation
Film Series viewing of Heavens Above.

This is one of the classic British comedies of the 1960's Peter
Sellers is superb as the Rev Smallwood a socialist priest mistakenly
sent to an upper-crust English village. Eric Sykes and Cecil Parker
excel in their roles, Sykes as the lay about, work dodging Smith and
Parker as the holier than thou archdeacon. Irene Handle and Ian
Carmicheal also make appearances in this film in their typical roles
played to perfection.

This film is a satire (with elements of farce) on British society
particularly the class system as well as religions role in it. The
character are typically English and all show their true nature as the
Rev Smallwood bumbles his way into a media frenzy without really
knowing it.
