The FILM NOIR series at Coos Bay Public Library continues on Sunday, September 15th at 4:00. John Garfield earned a “best actor” Oscar nomination for his portrayal as a boxer fighting his way to the top in Robert Rossen’s 1947 film noir sports drama “Body and Soul”. When amateur boxer Charley Davis (Garfield) wins his first big match, he attracts the interest of small-time promoter Quinn (William Conrad). After Davis’ father (Art Smith) is accidentally killed, Davis throws himself into his new career despite the protests of his mother (Anne Revere). A natural, Davis quickly climbs the boxing ladder where he eventually meets opportunistic promoter Roberts (Lloyd Gough), who introduces him to some unsavory elements. The Film Noir series is held on the third Sunday of the month. Everyone is welcome at this free program sponsored by The Friends of Coos Bay Public Library. The Library is located at 525 Anderson Avenue. Please call 269-1101 or visit coosbaylibrary.org for further information about this program.
