Marquette – Afternoon Classic Films will present a screening of “Sergeant York” on Monday, July 1 at 1:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Peter White Public Library.
Based on a true story, Alvin York single-handedly captures 132 German soldiers in 1918 during World War I. York was a man with deep religious convictions averse to killing, and forced to come to terms with these beliefs when sent into combat.
The film examines the poignant story of this man’s life from its origin in the Tennessee hills to his return home as a war hero.
“Sergeant York” was released in 1941, runs for 134 minutes and will be shown in the original black and white. There is no admission charge. For more information visit www.pwpl.info or call 226-4318.
