Third Thursday Lecture Series – The Making of “Wind Across the Everglades”

This presentation explores the stories behind and beyond the making of this classic film shot on location in Everglades City—and why the “dream team” of an Academy Award-winning screenwriter, director, and leading actor was ultimately a recipe for disaster. Rarely seen behind-the-scenes photos and anecdotes from the personal experiences of the principal actors will give attendees a new perspective on this 1958 cinematic gem.
