We close out January of 2025 and begin February with this trio of films! As always, YOU are invited!
The Plot Against Harry (King Screen Productions, 1971) — Friday, January 31 @ 7:30 PM
Former numbers runner Harry Plotnick (Martin Priest) is back on the streets after a nine-month prison stint. Caught in a whirlwind of Jewish family life and all kinds of New York strivers, Harry must contend with mobsters, lawyers, caterers, an overbearing sister, a daughter he has never met, cops, rabbis, and a radio host. Black & white, 81 min. (Film)
Ice Age (Twentieth Century Fox, 2002) — Saturday, February 1 @ 2:00 PM
Heading south to avoid a bad case of global frostbite, an unlikely trio of prehistoric misfits embark on a hilarious quest to reunite a human baby with his tribe. Featuring an all-star voice cast, including Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Denis Leary. Color, 81 min. (Film)
Desperately Seeking Susan (MGM, 1985) — Saturday, February 1 @ 7:30 PM
If you know what to look for, anything can be found in the personal ads—including the love of your life! Rosanna Arquette is irresistible in her first starring role, while pop star Madonna gives a marvelously offbeat performance in this delightful madcap comedy about mistaken identity. Color, 104 min. (Film)
“Susan” was recently added to the Library’s National Film Registry.
