One Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words
Bob Wade looks for fragments of our visual surroundings that appear to him to offer interesting, sometimes very colorful, compositions. These are all around us but sometimes difficult to isolate in the mind’s eye. He says, “For every ten attempts, you’re lucky to get one.”
The Library of Congress Packard Campus Theatre presents “The North Star”
Designed to gather sympathy for the Russian people and strengthen American support for the U.S. government’s alliance with the Soviet Union during World War II, Lewis Milestone’s 1943 drama focuses on the people of a tranquil Soviet farming collective in 1941 whose lives are shattered following a violent invasion by the Germans. Scripted by Lillian Hellman, with cinematography by James Wong Howe, the film features a stellar cast including Anne Baxter, Dana Andrews, Walter Huston, Erich von Stroheim, Walter Brennan and Farley Granger in his film debut. “The North Star” was condemned by some as Communist propaganda, but it had its supporters among prominent film critics as well. Nominated for six Academy Awards, it is a fascinating blend of politics and melodrama. 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.
