In honor of Father’s Day, we’re watching the 1964 comedic gem, Father Goose, starring Cary Grant and Leslie Caron.
On an island in the South Seas, Walter Eckland (Cary Grant) lives a quiet life. That changes when he’s persuaded to serve as a lookout for the Allies, watching for enemy ships. Eckland, whose main interest is drinking, proves bad at his job and is sent to fetch a replacement from another island. Instead he finds a stranded teacher, Catherine (Leslie Caron), and her pupils. After Eckland brings the group to his island, romantic sparks fly between the prim schoolmistress and the slovenly loner.
Join us to watch this comedic gem. Light snacks will be served. Registration is requested. To register, stop by the Circulation Desk or call the library at (708) 449-7510.
