7:30pm  -  The Name of the Game is Kill!
at The Dryden Theatre

Presented on 35mm film! Returning for the second year in a row to the George Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theatre, to uncover hidden treasures from the museum archive not typically considered for the general program.

This year’s selection finds Jack Lord (famous for playing Steve McGarrett on Hawaii Five-O), as hungarian hitchhiker Sym who gets in over his head. Heading west on a deserted Arizona road, he’s picked up by Mickey (Susan Strasberg), whose Jeep overheats. The two are attracted to each other immediately, so Mickey takes Sym home for the night… but her family is wary, especially when dark secrets start to be revealed.
