“Third Floor
Film Series” at Library: Bonnie & Clyde
The first event in Greenville Public Library's “Third Floor Film
Series” was a big success. Close to two dozen people munched on
popcorn in the public meeting room and watched Alfred Hitchcock's 1958
classic Vertigo on the library's 80" flat screen. David Nilsen
hosted a discussion of the film when it was over as attendees enjoyed
hot coffee.
The next event in the “Third Flood Film Series” will be Thursday, March
26, at 7 pm. Arthur Penn's 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, starring
Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway and featuring an early performance by
Gene Hackman, will play on the big screen.
The late sixties were a time of profound change in the movie world,
with the rejection of the Hays Code, the decline of the studio system,
and the stylistic influence of the French New Wave all heavily
affecting the American films that emerged in the second half of the
decade. Bonnie and Clyde was a landmark movie that is often cited
as the turning point between the older style and the dawn of New
Hollywood.
Be sure to make plans to attend Bonnie and Clyde on March 26.
Fresh popcorn, candy and snacks will once again be available, and David
Nilsen will again lead a brief discussion when the film is over.
We look forward to seeing your there.
