June 1 Brute Force. One of the great prison dramas depicts the inhuman conditions that can prevail under a corrupt and sadistic prison administration, and the brutal ends that men will go to in escaping them. Burt Lancaster turns in a star-making performance as the convict that can take only so much, causing him to lead the prisoners in a
Spartacus-like revolt. 2pm.
June 8 Stalag 17. Considered by many to be one of the best WWII prison camp films, Billy Wilder created another masterpiece of cynicism and black humor. It stars William Holden, in a role that won him the Best Actor Oscar for the year, as a super-cynical opportunist in a Nazi prison camp who is suspected by his peers of collaborating with the enemy.
June 15 The Dirty Dozen. If you like your anti-heroes really anti-, then this is the movie for you. With a starring cast the likes of Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Robert Ryan, Donald Sutherland, Ernest Borgnine, and Jim Brown, there's more testosterone here than a truckload full of steroids. The plot, though simple, is one that results in an incredibly entertaining roller-coaster ride of a film. 2pm.
Children's Series on Saturdays at 2pm. Show and times available on website.
