Hitchcock film retrospective at Lyons Library

Starting January 8 and continuing until the first week of March, the Lyons Public Library will present an Alfred Hitchcock film retrospective series for adults. The films will be shown on Saturdays at 2 p.m. A short discussion of each film will follow.

Jan. 8 presents the classic Strangers on a Train starring Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Robert Walker and Leo G. Carroll. In the film a tennis player, played by Farley Granger meets a playboy played by Robert Walker on a train to Washington. Walker's character wants to kill his father and knows that Granger's character wants to marry a senator's daughter but is unable to obtain a divorce from his wife. The playboy suggests that the two men swap murders, so to leave no trace behind and so the story unfolds.

This program is free, open to the public and registration is not required. For more information, please call the library at 946.9262.
