Movie Night

Event Description

Movie Night in the Library!

In this undeniable gem of Hollywood's golden age, Walter (Cary Grant), a hard-boiled newspaper editor, discovers that his ex-wife and former employee, Hildy (Rosalind Russel), is set to marry a wet-blanket insurance salesman.

Walter, certain that this is the wrong move for a strong-willed and ambitious woman such as Hildy, decides to sabotage her marital plans by enticing her with one last story--the execution of a convicted murderer.

A classic of the Screwball Rom-Com genre, this movie delivers the quick wit - and quicker dialogue - that only a pair like Hollywood legends Cary Grant and Rosalind Russel can! Selected to be preserved at the National Film Preservation Board, USA.

This movie will be streamed via the library's Kanopy movie service.
