The Dryden will screen The First Legion (Douglas Sirk, U.S. 1951, 86 min., 35mm).

"All is not well in the hushed spaces of Jesuit Saint Gregory's Seminary. Dominated by conservative older men, the institution is sometimes suffocating to younger initiates such as Father John Fulton (Wesley Addy), whose spirituality is stimulated more by music concerts outside of the walls, than by prayer and study within. . . . Trafficking in the parochial concerns of a complex subculture, director Douglas Sirk evokes powerful, universal emotions with this fascinating independent production, completed before his celebrated, decade-long run as a director of melodramas at Universal Pictures." — Shannon Kelley, UCLA
