Friends of the Library Movie Night

 This month's movie is about legendary Hollywood director. Plagued by both a reckless ego and nagging self-doubt, he becomes obsessed with a grisly murder story that studios won't back. Determined, he risks his reputation, his home, and even the love of his wife as he sets out to make the film. As usual, we will have free popcorn and snacks.
