This month's film is Storm Center.
1956; NR; 85 minutes.
This older but timely film features Bette Davis as librarian Alicia Hull, who is fired from her position for refusing to remove a book that is deemed subversive from her library's shelves. Based on a true story, and referenced in the recent PBS Independent Lens documentary, Free for All.
