World at war
The Valentine's Silver Screen Classic Series continues with two World War II-era films that dig beneath the standard action genre. The Bridge on the River Kwai — which screens on Friday, January 18 — follows a group of British soldiers who, after their surrender at Singapore, are forced to work on a bridge that would lead to the Japanese attack on Burma. From Here to Eternity — which screens on Friday, January 25 — follows Private Prewitt, a talented fighter, who is put through military hell because he refuses to join the regimental boxing team and is accused of insubordination after taking a stand on the unit's corruption. Full bar available. $5. 7:30pm. 410 Adams St. 419-242-3490. www.valentinetheatre.com. —SR
