This week at Harbor Theater
“Golda” - (PG13; 1 hour, 40 minutes) - “Golda” is a ticking-clock thriller set during the tense 19 days of the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir (Helen Mirren), faced with the potential of Israel's complete destruction, must navigate overwhelming odds, a skeptical cabinet, and a complex relationship with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (Liev Schreiber), with millions of lives in the balance. Her tough leadership and compassion would ultimately decide the fate of her nation and leave her with a controversial legacy around the world. Final shows at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11 and Thursday, Oct. 12.
“Mirren portrays Meir in her darkest days at the height of the 1973 Yom Kippur War with empathy and loving subtlety. It’s hard to imagine anyone doing it better, and this is territory that was once mined by Ingrid Bergman...” – G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
“The African Queen” - Classic Film Series - (1951; PG; 1 hour, 45 minutes) - After religious spinster's (Katharine Hepburn) missionary brother is killed in WWI Africa, dissolute steamer captain (Humphrey Bogart) offers her safe passage.

Two shows only: at 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 12 and Saturday, Oct. 14.
