The screening is free and open to the public of all ages and is part of this year’s Educational Classic Film Series – “The Art of Adaptation.” \n \nJohn Huston’s Landmark Film Noir Classic: “The Maltese Falcon” \nAs darkness descended on Europe in the late 1930s and early ’40s\, a new movie genre\, (in retrospect) labeled Film Noir\, emerged from Hollywood. It featured stories of the darker side of human nature and fatalistic themes of murder\, crime\, double-dealing\, and corruption. The moral ambiguity of the genre appealed to the anxieties of audiences facing a world seemingly gone mad. \nWarner Brothers long held the film rights to Dashiell Hammett’s 1930 novel\, The Maltese Falcon\, based on a story he serialized in the pulp fiction magazine Black Mask. The Warners produced a notorious pre-code version in 1931 and a later comedic version in 1936\, “Satan Met a Lady\,” starring Bette Davis that was a notable flop. \nThe Warners offered a young\, promising screenwriter\, John Huston\, the opportunity to adapt and remake Hammett’s story for a third time as his directorial debut. The result: perhaps the most enduring\, admired\, and imitated detective mystery movie ever made. “The Maltese Falcon” is a definite must-see in the American film canon. \nIn addition to the story’s appeal with audiences\, Bogart’s “hard-boiled” detective\, Sam Spade\, proved his breakout role as a leading man. The supporting ensemble cast includes an exceptional roster of Warner Brothers Golden Age contract talent: Mary Astor as the story’s femme fatale\, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre in their first of many screen pairings and the inimitable Elisha Cook\, Jr. as Greenstreet’s gun-toting “boy” who Bogart’s Sam Spade continually delights in humiliating. \nFeaturing a roster of menacing\, murderous\, deceitful characters\, and crackling\, quotable dialogue\, all wrapped in Arthur Edeson’s shadowy cinematography\, its themes of betrayal\, greed\, and cynicism make “The Maltese Falcon” the quintessential example of the Film Noir genre. Don’t miss this timeless 1941 Warner Brothers Classic! \nThis screening is free and open to the public of all ages.

Afterward\, he built a long career in San Diego’s electronic component industry until retiring in 2016. \nHis lifelong fascination with railroads began with a few old maps and led him to join the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in 1984. What started as a volunteer cataloging project became a decades-long commitment as Research Director\, Librarian\, and Archivist. Bruce has lectured widely\, taught railroad history at Cuyamaca College\, and helped restore trains\, tracks\, and facilities. \nToday\, he continues collecting material for a book on San Diego’s early railroad history while hiking\, researching\, and preserving the region’s rail heritage for future generations. \nLEARN MORE HERE: \nWine & Lecture: San Diego’s South Bay Railroads URL:https://coronadotimes.com/event/wine-lecture-san-diegos-south-bay-railroads/ LOCATION:1000 Orange Ave\, 1000 Orange Ave\, Coronado\, CA\, 92118\, United States CATEGORIES:education,history,lecture END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260420 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260425 DTSTAMP:20260517T055605 CREATED:20260329T223950Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260329T225235Z UID:254105-1776643200-1777075199@coronadotimes.com SUMMARY:Plein Air painting DESCRIPTION:Learn to paint outdoors in Coronado this spring. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nDoris Rice\, an internationally known Watercolor Instructor\, is coming to Coronado to paint Plein Air for five days\, from Monday\, April 20 through Friday\, April 24\, from morning until later afternoon\, with different subjects featured each day. \nYou can also see Doris ahead of the workshop volunteering at the Coronado Flower Show the weekend before demonstrating plein air watercolor painting. \nCourtesy photo\nFor more information\, contact Doris at doris.watercolor@gmail.com at 603-724-7779 (in New Hampshire).

It remains a “must-see” for everyone interested in film history and cinematic technique. Billy Wilder’s direction and screenplay\, with dialogue penned by legendary “hard-boiled” pulp fiction crime writer Raymond Chandler\, combine with cinematographer John F. Seitz’s masterful use of low-key lighting and Miklós Rózsa’s score\, to make Double Indemnity a haunting cinematic experience audiences will not soon forget. \nThe film’s all-star cast features Fred MacMurray\, here cast against type\, as ill-fated insurance salesman Walter Neff; a tragic soul utterly defenseless against the siren song of arguably the definitive cinematic femme fatale\, Phyllis Dietrichson\, chillingly portrayed by Barbara Stanwyck. Edward G. Robinson rounds out the superb cast as Barton Keyes\, Walter’s colleague and only friend\, the implacable insurance investigator who cannot shake his gut instinct that the accidental death of Phyllis Dietrichson’s well-insured husband was no accident at all. \nAll CIFF Educational Classic Film Program screenings are FREE and open the public. A cross generational experience is encouraged – many seniors would love to join and bring young people or grandkids – everyone is welcome. View the schedule at: coronadofilmfest.com/educational-classic-film-program/. Follow us on Instagram. \nThe 2026 “The Art of Adaptation” remaining line-up features all Best Pictures Oscar Nominees: A Tale of Two Cities (1937)\, and Les Miserables  (1935).
