On Tuesday, December 15, at 6:30 p.m. “Tuesday Night at the Movies” will feature an excellent film about Sherlock Holmes, starring Ian McKellen in Mr. Holmes.  The free screening will be downstairs at the Milton Public Library, 476 Canton Avenue in Milton, MA  02186.  All are welcome.

This movie is rated PG for thematic elements, some disturbing images and incidental smoking, and the running time is 105 minutes.  Director Bill Condon puts a spin on Arthur Conan Doyle’s most celebrated character with this work where a now-retired Holmes, his steel-trap mind starting to fade with old age, lives out his golden years in the late 1940’s.  Holmes returns to Japan to search for a plant to help slow the aging process, and while there, he witnesses first-hand the result of America’s bombing of Hiroshima.  He then reopens his investigation into the case that led to his retirement. Come watch to see what happens!

This free film screening is sponsored by the Friends of the Milton Public Library and for more information, call Jean Hlady, Adult Services Librarian, at (617) 698-5757, x. 3.
