The Hillsborough Classic Film Society is a group that is showing classic, foreign and independent films once a month in Orange County Public Library, 137 W. Margaret Lane, Hillsborough.
At each film there is an expert speaker who sets the background for the film.
There’s also free popcorn. You can bring a folding chair, which you might find to be more comfortable than the library chairs.
The films are from the Criterion Collection, which means that they are cleaned up and remastered, and the image on the screen is even better than image the original audiences saw.
It’s free to join the Hillsborough Classic Film Society, and members take part in deciding what films will be shown.
Upcoming Screening With Hillsborough Classic Film Society
March 8th, 2020: High Noon
On Sunday, March 8, the Hillsborough Classic Film Society will present High Noon, a 1952 film some reviewers now believe to be the greatest western ever made. It stars Gary Cooper as Marshall Will Kane who, faced with the choice (as the song says) “between love and duty,” chooses to do what needs to be done. Grace Kelly, in her first serious role, plays his new bride. The director, Fred Zinneman, also directed From Here to Eternity, Oklahoma!, The Nun’s Story, and A Man for All Seasons. The screenwriter, Carl Foreman, had an impressive list of film scripts to his name, but was blacklisted while the film was being made for refusing to cooperate with a Congressional committee and was unable for a time to find work in the United States. The speaker will be Ken Wetherington, a local author and film buff. March 8 at 3 pm in the Hillsborough Public Library on Margaret Lane. It is free to the public and, of course, there will be free popcorn.
