This expert political thriller, thanks in part to a fascinating plot line, emerges as one of the tautest films ever made. Its premise is diabolical: while being held prisoner in Korea, an American G.I. is programmed by the Chinese Communists to kill at will. The suspense builds to a riveting, action-packed political assassination finale in Madison Square Garden.

Reel Savannah, with Telfair Museums, presents… Time to Die

Friday, July 15th at 06:00 PM

Jepson Center – 207 W. York Street

Written and directed by Dorota Kedzierzawska, Poland’s remarkably independent auteur, Time to Die showcases the extraordinary talents of Danuta Szaflarska, the 96-year-old doyenne of Polish cinema. In the film that was written specifically for her, she plays a feisty, strong-willed Aniela who adamantly refuses ‘to go gently into that good night.’ With her loyal border collie Phila (short for Philadelphia) at her side, Aniela prefers to spend her days wandering around the sprawling, dusty, overwhelmingly large and slightly dilapidated wooded Warsaw home that was once the setting of grand World War II era parties. She divides her time between spying on her neighbors and sharing stories with her dog, but when she discovers that scheming relatives and locals may be in cahoots to inherit her property, the elderly woman realizes it’s time to stop living in the past and start planning for the future. Shot magically in black and white by the master cinematographer, Artur Reinhart, this small film is a keeper. Winner of Best Actress and Audience and Critics’ Awards at the 2008 Polish Film Festival. In Polish with English subtitles. 104 minutes. For more information, visit www.reelsavannah.org

Guys and Dolls – Film @ the Lucas

Nathan Detroit (Frank Sinatra) runs the best crap game in town, but with the police creeping in on him, he needs to find a new safe location to do business. He finds one but needs a grand to get it going, so he coaxes a bet with Sky Masterson (Marlon Brando), a high-stakes gambler, to take a prim missionary (Jean Simmons) to Havana, land of fun and “sin.”
