Inherit the Wind

Saturday, July 27th
@ 7pm

From the presenter, Michael Paxton:

This month we delve into what I call "spiritually evolved" films, starting with a compelling adaptation from a play. Inherit the Wind, based on the 1925 "Scopes monkey trial" with debates between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan, focuses on a Tennessee science teacher accused of the crime of teaching Darwin's theory of evolution in a local school. The script is taken largely from the transcripts of the real trial, and Stanley Kramer directs his sterling cast to some riveting performances. Spencer Tracy, Frederic March, Gene Kelly, Dick York, Donna Anderson, Florence Eldridge, Claude Akins and Harry Morgan star. 
Please join us on July 27th for Stanley Kramer's 1960 Oscar-worthy adaptation of "Inherit the Wind. "
