Event Details

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.

December 17: Alias Nick Beal (1949, Approved, 93 min)

The devil gets top billing in this noir twist on Faust—a supernatural morality tale. A crusading district attorney’s (Thomas Mitchell) ambition leads him to sell his soul to a shadowy figure (Ray Milland) to convict an elusive crime boss. Co-stars Audrey Trotter, Darryl Hickman and Fred Clark.
