Film Forum Coronado: “Woman on the 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  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: 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).
