The Library of Congress Packard Campus Theatre presents “The Santa Fe Trail”
Thursday, July 21, 2016 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
(Warner Bros., 1940) After graduating from West Point, Jeb Stuart (Errol Flynn) and George Custer (Ronald Reagan) are both stationed to Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. Once there, they find that the abolitionist John Brown (Raymond Massey) is killing those who get in the way of his anti-slavery crusade. While the duo must work together to battle the revolutionary, they also come to blows over their competing love for Kit Carson Holliday (Olivia de Havilland). Michael Curtiz directed this entertaining action drama based on historical events that climaxes with the attack at Harper’s Ferry, VA. Among the stellar supporting cast are Alan Hale, Ward Bond and Van Heflin. We will be screening a new 35 mm film print recently produced by the Library of Congress Film Preservation Lab. 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.
