P.A. Movie Time: Thrills, chills

The January P.A. Movie Time will feature “The Most Dangerous Game” Saturday, Jan. 6.

The free showing will start at 6:55 p.m., at the Community Center, 408 N. Alister St.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Popcorn and lemonade will be served by the Port Aransas Parks and Recreation Department, which sponsors the series.

Oldies.com describes the movie as “Fiendish, blood-thirsty Count Zaroff (Leslie Banks) hunts Man instead of animals on his secluded island.

“When world-renowned big game hunter Robert Rainsford (Joel Mc- Crea) is washed ashore after a shipwreck and refuses the Count's invitation to join in the hunt, he becomes the hunted.

“If the Count cannot track down Rainsford between midnight and sunrise, he is free. If caught, his head ends up on the Count's wall of trophies.

“Fay Wray is the Count's reluctant prize maiden and becomes part of the game when Rainsford takes her with him. Trip wires, diversion, decoys and other traps fill the foggy night, leading to the final chase by ferocious dogs. Wray is sultry and alluring as Eve, while Banks gives an icy performance as the evil Count.

“The Most Dangerous Game is breathless in pace and timeless in its nightmarish tone.”
