Join us for a classic film festival this month provided by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
**Prior to the actual film screening, we will present the context and show the value of each selected film. After viewing each film, a film historian or scholar will reexamine these films of the past and amplify their relevance.
Touch of Evil, by Orson Wells and starring Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh. This is about corruption and morally-compromised obsessions.
Follow-up film discussion with theatre professionals, will include:
