The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Charley Varrick starting at 8 p.m. "Walter Matthau plays the eponymous Charley, 'The Last of the Independents,' a destitute crop-duster who's slipped into a life of small-time crime. After a bank robbery turns fatal, Matthau finds himself with a suspiciously large take and hit man Joe Don Baker on his tail in a chase across a forlorn American countryside. Alternatively solemn and fox-clever, this unassuming thriller finds director Siegel working at his 1970s peak, dispensing violence with steely professionalism."
