The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Witchfinder General starting at 8 p.m. (presumably so, since the Dryden calendar says 8 a.m.) Vincent Price described his own performance as "one of the best performances I've ever given" as (according to the Eastman House calendar) "a self-appointed 'witchfinder' who takes advantage of his position to rape, kill, and plunder across 17th-century England. When he attacks a young soldier's fiancée, however, he becomes the hunted."
