After
50 years, this eerie sci-fi still grabs us. Kevin McCarthy battles
against an insidious takeover of his town: as mysterious pods replace
everyone, the result is deadly, soulless conformity. Don't fall asleep!
"Haunting, strangely prophetic... a masterpiece of understated
terror... effective and memorable."--Peter Bogdanovich. 1956
"Love, desire, ambition, faith... without them life is so much simpler."--the mantra of the Pod People
2008 marks the 12th year of great classic movies In Auburn, California.
Once a month in the Auburn Library's Beecher Room, celebrate the golden
age of the silver screen.
Romance and adventure, comedy and dance, mystery and music --it's
another year of classics from Silver Screen! These movies resonate with
great stories and great actors, such as Katharine Hepburn and Bette
Davis, Laurence Olivier and Spencer Tracy -- and great directors, such
as Alfred Hitchcock and George Stevens.
After 50, 60, even 80 years, these movies continue to amaze, delight,
and entertain. The stars continue to gleam in the dark on the silver
screen.
Join us as we continue to honor an age long gone but fondly remembered.
Presented by the Auburn Library, the movies are shown at 2 and 7 p.m.
in the Beecher Room of the library, at 350 Nevada St. in Auburn.
Admission is free.
