FILM: More Noir: Return to City Heat
Mondays in August at 6:30 pm (except August 15)
You asked for more heat, and we deliver. More dark alleys & gloomy cityscapes. More seedy characters & webs of deceit. More guns for hire & backstabbing dames.
Getting hot under the collar yet?
Join staffer Chris Boerger for our third noir film festival. When it comes to classic crime pictures, The Grandview Library leaves you wanting noir.
