International Film Series Continues at Westminster College

The Jake Erhardt International Film Series presents The Third Man Tuesday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater located in the McKelvey Campus Center. 

 The Third Man boasts exceptional performances by Orson Wells and Joseph Cotton.  It is based on Graham Green's story about a novelist who arrives in post World War II looking for a job and the friend who has promised him one.  The problem is that the friend has mysteriously disappeared.

The International Film Series was recently named in honor of its founder, Dr. Jacob Erhardt, professor emeritus of German at Westminster College.  Erhardt, who taught at Westminster from 1968 until his retirement in 2004, served as chair of his department from 1970-1986, was named the Language Educator of the Year by the Pennsylvania State Modern Languages Association, translated into English Robert Reitzel's Adventures of a Greenhorn, and was recognized by the National Endowment for the Humanities as an outstanding member.

The event, which is part of an eight-film series, is free and open to the public
