Friday Night Film Series

The Friends of the Thomaston Library present:


Duel in the Sun
Friday, September 24th
6:30 PM
Room 208, Thomaston Academy Building

Pearl Chavez (Jennifer Jones), a sultry half-breed orphan, is taken in by distant relative Laura Belle McCanles (Lillian Gish), whose husband (Lionel Barrymore) is a rich Texas cattle baron. The quintessential home-wrecker, Pearl is attracted to the two McCanles sons -- wild he-man Lewt (Gregory Peck) and educated, methodical Jesse (Joseph Cotten). The scene is set for a battle royale that pits brother against brother and a final confrontation between Lewt and Pearl.

Doors and Hallway bookshop opens at 6 and light refreshments will be served. Films are presented free of charge but donations are gratefully accepted. Thomaston Academy is handicapped accessable by the parking lot entrance. For more information call the library at 354-2453.
