Splendor in the Grass at Library Film Series
The Greenville Public Library's Third Floor Film Series will screen the
1961 coming of age drama Splendor in the Grass in August. The film was
directed by Elia Kazan and starred Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty.
Splendor in the Grass features Natalie Wood in one of her finest
dramatic roles as she plays a teen girl in the 1920s wrestling with her
emerging desires for her boyfriend, played by Warren Beatty in his film
debut, and the moral strictures of their time. The film is a moving
examination of the familial tensions and the sexism underlying the
moral expectations placed upon young men and
women.
Join us on Tuesday August 6 at 6:30 p.m. as we screen Splendor in the
Grass. Free popcorn, candy, and soft drinks will be provided, and David
Nilsen will lead a brief discussion after the film. Minors must be
accompanied by an adult. We hope to see you there!
