FILM FORUM CORONADO: “The Quiet American”

March 19 @ 6:00 pm - 8:45 pm PDT

Free

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.

March 19: The Quiet American (1958, TV-PG, 120 min)

In conjunction with the 2025 Coronado Community READ.

Joseph Mankiewicz directs Graham Greene’s eerily prophetic snapshot of  U.S. meddling in Vietnamese politics in the turbulent 1950s. A world-weary British journalist (Michael Redgrave) and a liberal  American aid worker (Audie Murphy) vie for the heart, mind and body of a Saigon woman (Georgia Moll). Largely shot on location in Saigon.
