A trailer to gladden the heart of every Philadelphia Catholic--actually every American Catholic. Based on the entirely true story of the "The Mighty Macs," the 1972 women's basketball team of (you are apparently required to use this adjective whenever you say the name of the school even though it's not really true) "tiny" Immaculata College (now University) outside of Philadelphia. (Frankly, the story was such a big deal in Philly at the time that if you had asked me at age 11 to name a Catholic women's college, the only one I could have come up with was Immaculata.) The movie is now set to premiere in October, after something of a long wait; a friend who has seen it loved it and stressed that it is "not cloying." Plus a great cast. Go Mighty Macs!
