Film club

The Riverdale-Yonkers Society for Ethical Culture will show Foul Play at the society meeting house, located at 4450 Fieldston Road, at 7 p.m.

The film is the story of librarian Gloria Mundy (Goldie Hawn) who stumbles on a plan to kill the Pope, who will be visiting soon. When she finds out that she is marked for death, she goes to detective Tony Carlson (Chevy Chase) for help. Together, they set out to unravel the murder plot with often-hilarious results. Running time for the film is 116 minutes.

Movies begin with an introduction and are followed by a discussion. A donation towards the film club of $3 to $5 per person will be accepted at the door. The film club’s next selections will be The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe on Saturday, Dec. 5 and Pan’s Labyrinth on Saturday, Jan. 9.
