Film Forum Coronado: The 39 Steps
640 Orange Avenue, Coronado, 92118
Cost: Free
Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents Film Forum Coronado 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. The 39 Steps (1935, Approved, 86 min) is full of twists and turns. Hitchcock’s juicy, heart-racing film follows Richard Hannay (Robert Donat) as he stumbles upon a conspiracy that thrusts him into a hectic chase across the Scottish mores and into an unexpected romance with the cool Madeline Carroll.
