Event Details

Join us on Monday evenings for a virtual movie discussion! Before each session, we'll announce a new film choice from Kanopy, a free streaming service accessible with your library card; you can then watch the movie at your leisure and participate in a patron-led discussion via Zoom. We look forward to seeing you there!

In an instant, accountant Henry Pulling's dull life becomes a whirlwind adventure of old love affairs, espionage, kidnappings and more money than he has ever dreamed of when his Aunt Augusta takes him under her wing to add a lot of color to his gray existence in the madcap TRAVELS WITH MY AUNT.

When Augusta (Academy and Tony Award winner Maggie Smith) sees her nephew, Henry (Alec McGowan), at her sister's funeral, the grand old dame with a wicked past sweeps stuffy young Henry into her exotic life as they travel from London to Paris, Istanbul to Operto in search of her long-lost--and possibly fictitious--lover, even though Augusta is living with a much-younger lover (Academy Award winner Louis Gossett Jr.)

Based on the novel by Graham Greene.
