Films At Fisher proudly presents the final installment in this semester’s film series:
Sergeant York
(US/1941) Dir. Howard Hawks
When: Tuesday 30 June; 5:30pm
Where: Fisher Library F03, Level 2, Exhibition Space
“I figured them guns was killin’ hundreds, maybe thousands, and there weren’t nothin’ anybody could do, but to stop them guns. And that’s what I done.”
Gary Cooper was never better than in this as a hillbilly turned all American hero. Ostensibly concerning WW1, the film’s release shortly before the bombing of Pearl Harbor transformed it into both stirring wartime propaganda and a box office smash.
The Films At Fisher series will be continuing on 4 August 2015, 5:30pm with the all time classic African Queen featuring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.
