The Bartlesville Area History Museum will show “The Stork Club” during its Movie Monday event scheduled for Dec.16th.

The feature will be shown from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the museum, located on the fifth floor of City Hall, which can be found 401 S. Johnstone Ave. in Bartlesville.

VCI-Entertainment of Tulsa said this 1945 film is an American musical comedy film directed by Hal Walker, starring Betty Hutton and distributed by Paramount Pictures, Hutton portrays Judy Peabody, a hat-check girl at the famed New York nightspot, The Stork Club. One night after work, Hutton rescues an old tramp, played by Barry Fitzgerald, from drowning. The tramp is really a millionaire, despondent over a failing marriage and in his gratitude, anonymously provides for her financial well-being. Being set up in luxury changes her life - but not all for the best and jealousy rears its ugly head over the unknown benefactor causing Judy’s boyfriend to dump her, all of which culminated in a humorous and entertaining B & W film rumored to have been financed by the original and famous Manhattan, New York Stork club.”
