Anatomy of a
Murder
(1959 - United States)
Sunday,
December 7
2:00 - 4:30 pm
In Otto Preminger's
movie, James Stewart takes on the case of Ben Gazzara, who
admits he killed a local bar owner but insists he did it as a
result of the victim's rape of his wife, Lee Remick. Stewart's
opponent is George C. Scott, in his film debut. Duke Ellington
wrote the excellent jazz score.

| One Book, One Community Wrap-Up |
|
Our first ever One Book, One Community program was a great
success. We had over 1,500 attendees at Danbury's 19 events
held between October 1 and November 5, including 11 book
discussions, 3 movies, a Diwali celebration, a classic Indian
dance program, a trip to New York City, and presentations by
Suvir Saran, Madhur Jaffrey and Jhumpa Lahiri.
We're aiming
to make One Book, One Community 2009 even bigger than this
year's, and we're already starting to plan for next year. Do
you have any suggestions for next year, or comments about this
year's past events? We'd love to hear any book
recommendations, program suggestions, or authors you may know
to get the ball rolling for next year.

call, IM, or drop in!
