Holiday Film Lecture: Christmas in July In-Person
Experience all the joy of Christmas in July, on Wednesday, December 17 at 1 pm. This is a classic screwball comedy written and directed by Academy Award® winner Preston Sturges (The Lady Eve). A workplace practical joke goes awry when an office clerk (Dick Powell), believing he has won a $25,000 prize, takes his girlfriend (Ellen Drew) on an extravagant Christmas shopping spree…in the middle of July! After they discover it was all a hoax, their spending spree turns into a wild slapstick riot. More than just a holiday heart-warmer, this madcap masterpiece is a classic gift of laughter that is perfect for every season.
Film screening will be preceded by a short film lecture by Doug Swiszcz.
Free and open to all.
