Film Series for Adults

Our film series for adults continues on Monday, February 26 at 2:00 p.m. in the Marshalltown Public Library’s community meeting rooms.

Our movie license forbids the use of film titles in publicity; therefore, we invite you to play the movie guessing game!

This film is a 1954 American crime drama film, directed by Elia Kazan and written by Budd Schulberg. It stars Marlon Brando and features Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger, Pat Henning, and Eva Marie Saint in her film debut. The musical score was composed by Leonard Bernstein. The film focuses on union violence and corruption amongst longshoremen, while detailing widespread corruption, extortion, and racketeering on the waterfronts of Hoboken, New Jersey.

Join our film critic, Tom LaVille, for a great discussion after the movie, as well as free popcorn and lemonade. This event is free and open to the public, aged 18 and over. For more information, or for the title of the film, please call the library's Information Desk at 641-754-5738 ext. 4.
