Film: “Malta Story”
Friday, August 11, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
(United Artists, 1953) Alec Guinness stars as RAF photographer Flight Lt. Peter Ross with Jack Hawkins as his commanding officer in this British drama based on the heroic air defense of Malta during the Siege of Malta (June 1940 – November 1942) during the Second World War. The idea for the production came from Britain’s Central Office of Information, who wished to exemplify the co-operation between the three branches of the armed services during the War. Director Brian Desmond Hurst shot much of the picture in Malta with aircraft used during the Siege that was still operational, some of which did not exist elsewhere. The incorporation of impressive stock footage also contributed to the authenticity of the film. 7:30 p.m. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations required. For more information, call 202-707-9994.
