The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing It Happened One Night starting at 8 p.m. The Eastman House calendar puts things concicely: "a runaway heiress (Claudette Colbert) joins forces with a tough-talking newspaper man (Clark Gable) in a Capra classic that set a new standard for screwball comedies and swept up the top five Oscars®: Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing the director's cut of Alien starting at 8 p.m. I like the Eastman House calendar's phrase, "futuristic spin on the haunted house film". Still really cool and worth checking out.

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Madam Satan starting at 7 p.m. Once again, the lyrical Eastman House calendar says it all: "an extravagantly designed and positively loopy pre-code musical, Madam Satan is legendary director DeMille's moralistic yet lighthearted story of infidelity among the filthy rich."
