: “Twice Told Tales” is back!! Join us for a wonderful evening of entertainment, and community connection when local Academy Award winning screenwriter, Janet Roach, walks us through some of her favorite films. In “Twice Told Tales” we will be featuring two different movies over the course of two sessions that feature similar plots but have been created by two different directors and are based on two different screenplays. At the end of the second week’s film we will be having a potluck dinner where we will talk about movies or whatever else is on your mind and share with old friends and new ones through the magic of film making. 

This week’s film is “Yojimbo” (directed by Akira Kurosawa) starring Toshiro Mifune,  Tatsuya Nakadai and Yoko Tsukasa.  In tonight’s film a ronin (a drifting samurai with no lord, master or moral eligance) arrives in a small town where competing crime lords are fighting for control and supremacy within the town while terrorizing the townsfolk. 

The second film in this combination of Twice Told Tales is “A Fistfull of Dollars” which will be screened on November 4th and will include a potluck dinner.
