"Sweet, cheerful and funny family entertainment."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Frank (Hume Cronyn) and Faye Riley (Jessica Tandy) are an elderly New York City couple living in a depressed part of town. There, they run a diner as well as an apartment building, which is home to a poor but friendly group of people. One day, Frank and Faye learn that a property developer wants them to sell the apartment. When they refuse, their diner is vandalized. However, Frank, Faye and their tenants are aided by mysterious flying saucers, which help them repair the diner and fight back.
River City Housing Collective is a nonprofit cooperative dedicated to providing quality, affordable housing to the Iowa City area. Our members live in one of three historic homes, a short walk from downtown Iowa City and the University of Iowa campus.
Unlike other rental opportunities, RCHC is managed and operated through the collective efforts of our members, not a landlord. Shared responsiblity for cooking, cleaning, maintenance, and administrative tasks allows RCHC to continue to grow in its mission of sustaining a healthy physical and social environment for all of its members.
