Acclaimed as
a modern classic
in the vein of
Brave New World
and 1984, this
outstanding
novel by Ray
Bradbury is
brought to the
screen with all
its vividness
and imagination
intact. Set in a
future
electronic age,
all books are
banned and
fireman must
keep fires
burning at 451
degrees—the
temperature at
which paper
burns. Julie
Christie plays
dual roles—one
as wife of
fireman Oskar
Werner and the
other as a
book-loving
schoolteacher. |

Based on
Joseph
Kesselring's hit
Broadway play,

two kindly and
loveable aunts
have been
poisoning people
with elderberry
wine. Two
murderers (Peter
Lorre and
Raymond Massey)
move into the
aunts’ house
with the idea of
adding a few
corpses of their
own. |
