Livingston Library Classic Movie: ATLANTIC CITY

The Classic Movie Series celebrates New Jersey's 350th Anniversary with a few films that have ties to the Garden State. April’s selection is ATLANTIC CITY, starring Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon (who grew up in Edison, NJ).

Atlantic City has long been a place of dreams for many, even before casinos. Sally wants to be an Atlantic City croupier as a way to realize her dream of going to Monte Carlo and Lou dreams that he was a great mobster in the old days. 

ATLANTIC CITY is one of 26 films to be Oscar nominated for all 5 key Academy Awards (Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Director and Screenplay) and one of six of these films not to win any Oscars at all.

Film programs are sponsored by the Livingston Library Endowment Fund. They are free and open to everyone.
