This weekend feels a bit like the Midcoast in the 2010s, when there were all sorts of interesting things going on. It’s a good time to get out, and meet some new people who enjoy some of the same hobbies/interests.

Risqué Red Dust

Sunday, November 13—Rockland

In the 1930s, when studios were making risqué movies, they were “desperately trying to lure depression-era broke moviegoers into theaters. Hollywood made films full of sex, violence, drinking (during Prohibition), and grotesque and shocking material. During this brief period of early talkies and little censorship Hollywood studios created many films that challenged and transcended the "moral" and sexual boundaries of their times.” At 8 p.m. the Strand Theatre will be screening Red Dust with Clark Gable and Jean Harlow about a love triangle between a plantation owner and a prostitute.
