Museum offers free screening of 'King of Hearts'

The Museum at Central School's Historic Film Club presents a free screening of the 1967 film "King of Hearts," starring Alan Bates, at 7 p.m. Oct. 29. 

During World War I, Pvt. Charles Plumpick (Bates) is sent on a mission to the French town of Marville to defuse a German bomb. But Plumpick discovers he's not alone in Marville and is soon befriended by the "inmates" of the local sanitarium, who were left behind when the town was evacuated. Thanks to his handiness, the residents, in all their quirkiness, deem Plumpick the "King of Hearts." With that honor, can he go back to the war?

Anyone may attend the screening. Donations will be accepted to help defray the cost of acquiring and showing the films.

The movie and popcorn are free, and wine, beer, pop and water will be for sale. Seating is provided, but people can also bring their own floor pillows, portable chairs or whatever is comfortable for viewing the film.

The Museum at Central School is located at 124 Second Ave. E. in Kalispell. Call 756-8381 for more information.
