The Dryden will screen Mysterious Island (Cy Endfield, U.S. 1961, 101 min., 35mm) as part of the Tricks through Time series.

Confederate officers escape their Civil War prison only to be blown off course in this film version of Jules Verne's exciting sequel to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The soldiers land on a strange volcanic island populated by giant animals and meet up with pirates, shipwreck survivors, and Captain Nemo and his amazing Nautilus submarine. Marvelous special effects by Ray Harryhausen and a Bernard Herrmann musical score enliven this fantasy classic.
