Earlier this year, our library system acquired the licensing rights to show selected movies to the public for free. To get things started at our library, I decided to show a couple of examples of classic film noir, calling our event Hardboiled: Film Noir Theater, which - at least for now - meets one Saturday a month.
For our January movie, we screened Out of the Past (1947) starring Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas. Last month, we watched the John Huston heist film The Asphalt Jungle (1950). The audiences enjoyed these noir films so much, they wanted to see more, so that's exactly what we're giving them. Due to the licensing agreement, I can't tell you the name of the film we'll be watching this Saturday, March 15 at 2:00pm, but I can tell you that it's one of the films listed above. It's also "the stuff that dreams are made of." If you're in the area, please come join us!
