Mercer Island Library Movie Matinee: Libeled Lady

The Mercer Island Public Library's Saturday Movie Matinee kicks off its fall series remembering the glory days of the newspaper with Libeled Lady (Jack Conway, 1936).

When a newspaper is sued for libel, the editor postpones his wedding and convinces his fiancée to enter a sham marriage with a former reporter, all in a comically complicated attempt to discredit the newspaper’s accuser.  A star-studded cast featuring Jean Harlow, Spencer Tracy, William Powell, Myrna Loy, and Walter Connolly

All films are free and open to the public.  Free refreshments provided!
