FOPP replaces movie selection
The free Friends of Pavillion Park movie scheduled for Aug. 14 at Pavillion Park has been changed to "Il Postino: The Postman." The movie is rated PG and starts at dusk.
In the 1994 Italian film about love and friendship, a simple postman makes deliveries to a famous poet and develops a love for poetry, which he uses to woo a local woman.
The movie was changed from an R-rated feature previously announced this year.
