Films on Fridays
We’re digging into the past to show films from the 1920s through the 1960s, some classics some less well-known. Genres include romantic, comedy, drama, mystery and noir. Everyone is welcome to come!

May 9  Safety Last (1923, b+w, silent) Harold Lloyd and Mildred Davis in a corny, romantic comedy. Includes the well-known clock scene.

May 23  The Trial (1962, b+w) Anthony Perkins; Orson Welles directed. Based on the Franz Kafka novel, so expect the bizarre.

* No films in June *

July 11  12 Angry Men (1957, b+w) Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, Ed Begley, E.G. Marshall, Jack Warden, Jack Klugman. 12 men on a jury in a hot, small room deliberating the fate of an accused. Intense.
