Ron Kibbey’s Comedy Classic

A Film Noir Spoof starring Bob Hope,

Dorothy Lamour, & Peter Lorre

Tuesday, February 18, 6 PM

February’s Comedy classic (whose

title we can’t tell you because it’s

not out of copyright) is a 1947

American romantic comedy film and

film noir parody, directed by Elliott

Nugent and starring Bob Hope and

Dorothy Lamour. The film is about a baby photographer on death

row in San Quentin State Prison who tells reporters his history. While

taking care of his private-eye neighbor's office, an irresistible

baroness asked him to find a missing baron. That initiated a series of

confusing but sinister events in a gloomy mansion and a private

sanatorium. Spoofing movie detectives and the film noir style, the

film features Lon Chaney, Jr. playing Willie, a character based on his

Of Mice and Men role Lennie; Peter Lorre as Kismet, a comic take

on his many film noir roles; and cameo appearances by film noir

regular Alan Ladd and Hope partner Bing Crosby. (https://

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Favorite_Brunette)

Ron provides an intro to the movie and a swell classic cartoon before

the feature. Free popcorn and sodas, too. Free and open to the

public. Please register to attend.

Book Lunch:

Death of a Doxy, by Rex Stout

Thursday, February 20, Noon

Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin seek to clear Teer,

Orrie Cather, from a murder charge and collect a fifty

thousand dollar fee from a client who must remain nameless to the

public. A seemingly but not absolutely impossible task once they

enlist the help of the murder victim’s best friend, nightclub singer,

Julie Jacquette.

Thems that know say there are two kinds of readers: those who dig

plot and those who crave character. Death of a Doxy is Wolfe-sized

with both.

Books available at the circulation desk. You must register to attend

by Tuesday, February 18.

Sisters of Selma

Thursday, February 20, 6 PM

An unabashedly spiritual take on the Selma voting

rights marches of 1965 from some of its unsung foot

soldiers - Catholic nuns. Following "Bloody

Sunday," sisters from around the country answered Dr. King's call

to join the protests in Selma. Never before in American history had

avowed Catholic women made so public a political statement.

In 2003, director Jayasri Hart reunited the nuns to let them view the

protests on tape for the first time. His skillfully edited archival

footage documents the nuns' participation, offering an enthralling

you-are-there feeling. This important documentary is a compelling

testament to...putting one's faith into action. (www.amazon.com/
