Nutley at War Film Screening & Discussion
7 p.m. Thursday, June 6, 2019
NUTLEY NJ -- Township historians John Demmer and David Wilson will host a
screening of Nutley at War, a 1942 film by the Nutley Defense Council that has
not been shown in public since 2002.
Recently restored footage in this
forty-minute film will take you back in time when Nutley organized its citizens
to prepare for enemy attacks.
Scenes filmed throughout Nutley, familiar family names,
interior and exterior views of old Nutley buildings, and a celebratory parade
document the hard work and dedication of Nutley neighbors. Recently discovered
material relating to the making and marketing of the film will also be shown.
Local author and historian Anthony Buccino will speak
briefly about Nutley servicemen in the Normandy Invasion of Fortress Europe on the 75th
anniversary of the D-Day landing.
