BATH — Patten Free Library’s “On the Road” film festival concludes Tuesday, Oct. 29 with Arthur Penn’s 1967’s Academy Award-winning “Bonnie and Clyde.”

As film lovers have since discovered, it’s no ordinary gangster movie.
Show time is 6:30 p.m. in the community room.
The film is not rated and has a run time of 112 minutes. Free admission and refreshments will be provided.
