The Nelson Algren Museum proudly presents "The Face on the Barroom Floor", a Silleck Family Productions film adaptation of the Nelson Algren story. "The Face on the Barroom Floor" is classic, encapsulating Algren's notably dark humor to every detail.
The Silleck family is a father and son production that specializes in stop-motion lego films. Their contribution is a precious gift to us and all who love Nelson Algren.
