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 6:45 in the library's Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards (time permitting), often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.

“THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI”  

(1947, 87 minutes)

Orson Welles brews a brash, sexy thriller crackling with energy. A mischievous adventurer (Orson Welles) is bewitched by a blonde temptress (Rita Hayworth). The climax in the funhouse hall of mirrors is one of cinema’s most audacious and inventive sequences.
