Mass Appeal

1984
Director: Glenn Jordan

Jack stars as a parish priest, complacent and comfortable, and who cracks jokes from the pulpit. When idealistic Mark Dolson (Zeljko Ivanek), a radical seminarian accuses him of “song and dance theology,” the result is a clash that teaches them both about the idea of faith.

The incomparable JACK LEMMON was born 100 years ago.
