The Island Film Group will meet for a movie at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 8 at the Bainbridge Public Library. The group meets on the second Wednesday of the month for free films and discussion.

This month’s film is “The Set-Up.”

As shown by the clock face that opens and closes the film, the movie takes place within a compact 72 minutes, with the action played out in “real time.” Robert Ryan plays Bill “Stoker” Thompson, a washed-up boxer who refuses to give up his career despite the pleas of his wife Julie (Audrey Totter). There’s little chance that he’s going to win this evening’s bout; still, Stoker’s manager Tiny (George Tobias) has secretly made a deal with a crooked gambler (Alan Baxter).

The 1949 drama was directed by Robert Wise.
