Dixon Director Kevin Sharp continues his Director's Cut film festival with three great features from the 1940's.

His selections from the 1930's, The Thin Man (1934), It Happened One Night (1934), and The Holiday (1938), examined serious Depression-era issues through the lens of sophisticated comedy. As hard times gave way to war-time in the 1940s, America's social concerns changed and so did its appetite for popular entertainment. Kevin's favorite films of the 1940s focus on themes of individual responsibility, and how one person can make a difference.

He will offer a brief introduction to each film before screening. Galleries open until 8:00pm Film starts at 7:00pm

Free with museum admission.
