The SMI Programs Committee will be screening the movie “The Horse’s Mouth.”

In Ronald Neame’s film of Joyce Cary’s classic novel, “The Horse’s Mouth,” Alec Guinness transforms himself into one of cinema’s most indelible comic figures: the lovably scruff painter Gulley Jimson. As the ill-behaved Jimson searches for a perfect canvas, he determines to let nothing come between himself and the realization of his exalted vision. A perceptive examination of the struggle of artistic creation. 95 minutes long.

A brief discussion will follow.
