COMING SOON TO A LIBRARY NEAR YOU!
Join us at the Bedford Central Library for a monthly Saturday afternoon screening of a movie for adults and teens. 

This month in honor of our Oceans of Possibilities Summer Reading Program we will be showing the classic picture 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (1954) starring Kirk Douglas, James Mason, Paul Lukas, and Peter Lorre. 

Plot: In 1866, Professor Pierre M. Aronnax (Paul Lukas) and his assistant Conseil (Peter Lorre), stranded in San Francisco by reports of a giant sea monster attacking ships in the Pacific Ocean, are invited to join an expedition to search for the creature. During the search, they and harpooner Ned Land (Kirk Douglas) are thrown overboard during an attack, eventually discovering that the supposed monster is actually a submarine piloted by the brilliant but haunted Captain Nemo (James Mason).  Based on the classic novel by Jules Verne.  

Rated: G

Run Time: 2 Hours, 7 Minutes
