FILM FORUM CORONADO: "Take the Money and Run"

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library's Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.

September 6: Take the Money and Run (1969, 85 min)

Woody Allen’s first film as actor, director and writer is this zany, absurdist screwball comedy about a bumbling bank robber (Allen), destitute and in love, who attempts to lead a life of crime to provide for his beloved wife (Janet Margolin).
