Film historian, collector and preservationist Eric Grayson will screen “Diary of a Sergeant,” a 1945 training film for the U.S. military, at 7 p.m. Nov. 14 at the Garfield Park Arts Center, 2450 Shelby St.

The film stars Harold Russell, who lost his hands because of defective dynamite on D-Day in June 1944. The movie explores the challenges a wounded soldier would need to overcome to adjust to civilian life. 

“Although the U.S. Army thought Russell was such a lousy actor and overdubbed his voice, he won an Oscar the next year for ‘The Best Years of Our Lives,’ ” Grayson said. 

“Diary of a Sergeant” is one of the most famous training films, added Grayson. “It is vastly different from the standard films that covered mundane topics like cooking and wood chopping.”
​
Admission is $5, concessions $1.Info: 327-7135. For more information about Grayson’s work, visit www.drfilm.net/blog.
