The 4th Annual Femme Fatale Film Festival Saturday, September 21 at Pocono Community Theater in Local East Stroudsburg

This fall, ESU is sponsoring a free film festival with two classic films featuring misunderstood, naughty, or dangerous heroines: Because of You and Dangerous Liaisons. This free cultural event is designed for ESU students, faculty, staff, and the community. The event–and both films–are free and open to the public. Feel free to come for one film or for the day.

10 a.m. – Because of You
Like drama? This suspenseful film centers on the story of Christine, a fallen woman who has paid a high price for her fling with Mike Monroe, a playboy and gangster. After being released from jail, she is determined to turn her life around. However, her secrets may return to haunt her and threaten the life she has built with her new husband. This 1952 film stars Loretta Young and Jeff Chandler.

Noon – Dangerous Liaisons
How deadly can gossip be? Rich and bored aristocrats plot and scheme to destroy a young lady’s reputation. This 1988 film has an all-star cast, including Glenn Close, John Malkovich, and Michelle Pfeiffer.
