Fall Classic Film Series

Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club logo

Northern Tier Library is pleased to announce a Classic Film Series this fall in partnership with the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club.

Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club’s mission is to preserve and promote classic film (Golden Age of Hollywood, 1910-1969) in the community. To that end, they offer free movie screenings throughout the Pittsburgh area.

One Tuesday evening per month, the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club will share a film on our library’s lower level. Doors will open at 6:30 PM, with the movie starting at 7:00 PM. These movies are free, and refreshments will be provided so we ask for registration to account for supplies.

How To Steal A Million - October 24th, 2023

Charles Bonnet (Hugh Griffith) expresses his passion for art by forging masterpieces — and selling them at a hefty profit. The trouble starts when his reproduction of a prized sculpture winds up in a famous Paris museum. If experts determine that it is inauthentic, Bonnet’s reputation will be tarnished. That’s why his fetching daughter, Nicole (Audrey Hepburn), hires cat burglar Simon Dermott (Peter O’Toole) to steal the sculpture back before it’s too late.

Julie Andrews plays the role of Maria, the tomboyish postulant at an Austrian abbey who becomes a governess in the home of a widowed naval captain with seven children, and brings a new love of life and music into the home.
