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 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 4 and 18: "Woman on the Run" (1950, PG-13, 80 min) - A lost gem rediscovered! Orson Welles protege Norman Foster directed this witty, wise-cracking take on the travails of romance and marriage. Join the wild chase around San Francisco as the sole witness to a gangland slaying goes into hiding, trailed by a police bird dog, a roguish newspaper man (Dennis O’ Keefe ) and the witness’s wife (Ann Sheridan).

Frank Johnson becomes an eyewitness to a murder. He's pursued around San Francisco by his wife, the police, and the killer. Directed by Norman Foster. Written by Sylvia Tate (story), Alan Campbell (screenplay) and Norman Foster (screenplay). Starring Ann Sheridan, Dennis O'Keefe and Robert Keith.
