History Department Hosts Film Series

The History Department is commemorating the beginning of World War 1 by hosting several upcoming events.

The first event will be a movie “Oh, What a Lovely War,” a 1969 musical film which summarizes and comments on the events of World War I using popular songs of the time, many of which were parodies of older popular songs, and using allegorical settings such as Brighton’s West Pier to criticize the manner in which the eventual victory was won.

The movie can be seen on Thursday, September 10, at 7:00 p.m. in Baldwin Hall 176 (the Little Theatre). The movie is free and open for all to attend.
