Not every Christmas movie features a deus ex machina in the slithery shape of a poisonous viper, but this delightfully oddball comedy isn't typical holiday fare. After escaping from Devil's Island, prisoners Humphrey Bogart (reuniting with Casablanca director Michael Curtiz), Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray, and, yes, a viper named Adolphe, hide out in a small village store run by Leo G. Carroll, Joan Bennett, and daughter Gloria Talbott. The jailbirds plan to rob the place before skipping town—but don't count on the Christmas spirit and their own better natures.

The Battle of China, War Comes to America screenings
2017-12-26 19:30 - 21:36 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Battle of China (Frank Capra, Anatole Litvak, U.S. 1944, 62 min., 16mm), and War Comes to America (Frank Capra, Anatole Litvak, U.S. 1945, 64 min., 16mm) as part of the Capra series.
In The Battle of China, Capra turns his eye to the Pacific theater of war and introduces Japan as an aggressor that needs to be stopped before it conquers not just China, but all of Asia. The final film in the Why We Fight series, War Comes to America paints an honorable historical fresco of the USA, "the oldest major democratic republic still living under its original constitution," and its responsibility to abandon isolationism and interfere in global affairs.

Saraba hakobune (Farewell to the Ark) screening
2017-12-27 19:30 - 21:37 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Saraba hakobune (Farewell to the Ark, ShÃ»ji Terayama, Japan 1984, 127 min., 35mm; Japanese w/subtitles) as part of the Terayama series.
Terayama's final feature, released only after the director's untimely death in 1983 at the age of 47, blends all his previous personal interests—the power of memory, the demands of society, the clash between tradition and new ways—into a seamless, visually gorgeous allegory. Farewell to the Ark is a tale of village life, magic, forbidden love, and clocks that that make the sun rise and set. It is also a testament of an artist who knew he was dying at the time of filming and made one last desperate attempt to pour all his experience and expertise, all the hundreds and hundreds of literary works and films he had created, into one last artistic statement.
