tNoonday Film Programg
On Tuesday, December 18,
the films “A Charles Dickens
Christmas” and “Wild
Highlands” will be shown at
the Augusta Library’s weekly
series of film programs “The
World in Films” in the
auditorium at 12:10 p.m.
“A Charles Dickens
Christmas” is adapted from “A
Good-Humored Christmas
Chapter” in The Pickwick
Papers. This film dramatizes
one of the best-known
incidents in English
literature-the Christmas visit
of Mr. Pinwick and his friends
to Dingley Dell Farm. In the
large parlor, everyone responds
to he cordial atmosphere, and
above all to the joyour capers
of Mr. Pickwick, who excels in
all the merrymaking.
Beautiful color photography
and a commentary which is
well written nd beautifully
delivered removes “Wild
Highlands”
from the single category of a
nature film and makes it an art
film as well. The wild highlands
of Scotland are explored and
birds, animals, and plants are
shown as they renew
themselves in he spring and
summer. Shows how natural
balance of plant and animal life
maintains itself. Also gives a
feeling for the Scottish
highlands.
