Description

Our film series for adults continues on Monday, June 30 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!

Our June film is a 1961 American sports drama film. Paul Newman chalked up a Best Actor nomination as cocky young pool shark "Fast" Eddie Felson, who comes up against the cruelty of life as he negotiates the billiards underworld with the help of a wily mentor and a troubled girlfriend. This gritty Best Picture nominee earned two Oscar wins among its nine nominations. Newman reprised his role in Martin Scorsese's 1986 sequel "The Color of Money."

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. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Marshalltown Public Library.
