The Island Film Group will screen “The Egg and I” at its meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9 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 comedy “The Egg and I,” with Fred MacMurray and Claudette Colbert. The

1947 film, directed by Chester Erskine, was  based on the book by Betty MacDonald about her life as a chicken farmer in the Chimacum Valley. The film spawned the popular Ma and Pa Kettle series.
