Join us for a NEW discussion group: MOVIE TALKS. We select movies that you might have seen when first released, but warrant repeat viewing; or perhaps you never saw it but is one that may intrigue you. It may even be a movie that you are just dying to share with someone else! We will share information about the plot, characters/actors, and some of the behind-the-scenes trivia. Watch the movie ahead of time and join us for a great discussion! Copies of the film are available at the adult services desk on the second floor of the library.
This month we are discussing the 1944 crime thriller film noir that was nominated by seven Academy awards, Double Indemnity, starring Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck . Fred MacMurray plays an insurance salesman, Barbara Stanwyck as a provocative housewife, and Edward G. Robinson as a claims manager. The title refers to a "double indemnity" clause which doubles life insurance payouts when death occurs in a statistically rare manner.
