The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Serpico starting at 8 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar, Sidney Lumet's "no-nonsense direction turned the shocking true story of an NYPD officer into one of the most acclaimed dramas of the decade. As crime engulfs the mean streets of New York City, undercover cop Frank Serpico (Al Pacino) discovers something worse: rampant corruption among those sworn to serve and protect. Horrified, Serpico speaks out, only to be targeted by his fellow officers who retaliate with obstruction, denials, and violence."
