SHANE 9:30 PM
A mysterious stranger who calls himself Shane (Alan Ladd) drifts into an isolated western valley. It soon becomes apparent that he is a gunslinger, and he finds himself drawn into a conflict between simple homesteader Joe Starrett (Van Heflin) and powerful cattle baron Rufus Ryker (Emile Meyer), who wants to force Starrett and every other homesteader in the valley off the land. Shane accepts a job as a farmhand, but finds Starrett’s young son Joey (Brandon DeWilde) drawn to him for his strength and skill with a gun. Shane himself is uncomfortably drawn to Starrett’s wholesomely charming wife, Marian (Jean Arthur).
As tensions mount between the factions, Ryker hires Jack Wilson (Jack Palance), a skilled gunslinger. After Wilson kills another homesteader (Elisha Cook, Jr.) who had stood up to him, Joe Starrett decides to take it upon himself to go kill Wilson and Ryker and save the town; however, he is stopped by Shane who insists on going himself. Starrett and Shane fight over who should go on to face Wilson; Shane regretfully uses his gun to hit Joe over the head and knock him out, knowing this was the only way to prevent Joe from facing Ryker and getting killed. Shane then goes to take on Wilson in a climactic showdown, killing him and Ryker, but being wounded in the shootout. After urging young Joey to grow up strong and take care of both of his parents, Shane rides away to parts unknown.
As Shane rides away, Joey calls after him, “Pa’s got things for you to do! And Mother wants you. I know she does.” The movie closes with Joey shouting “Shane! Come back!” as he watches Shane riding into the mountains.

FELLINI’S SATYRICON 7 PM
Fellini’s “free adaptation” of The Satyricon of Petronius is a fragmented narrative. The episodes do not connect: one moment Encolpio is buried in an earthquake, the next he is walking through an art gallery. The film even ends in mid-sentence, as if unfinished. But this is Fellini’s intention. His source material is also fragmentary. Petronius’ satire is an unusual work. Almost nothing is known about the author, other than that he was a sort of fashion designer for Nero (and even that cannot be confirmed). Only fragments of his picaresque comedy survive, a strange fusion of Homeric parody and contemporary social critique—a satire of hedonism by an avowed hedonist. The Satyricon takes gleeful pleasure in its own excesses. Its hero, Encolpius (which roughly translates to “crotch”) rambles through a series of bizarre erotic escapades.
In this sense, Fellini Satyricon is as much science fiction (an idea Fellini suggested himself) as it is history: a look ahead toward the collapse of all civilization into ruined art. Vernacchio’s art is a grotesque travesty meant only for the squalid poor. The wealthy pretend to patronize art, but their own artistic pretensions only produce doggerel. At Trimalcione’s banquet, the decadent host (Il Moro) has Eumolpo hauled off to the kitchen to be tortured when the poet catches him plagiarizing.
But have no fear: even through Eumolpo dies in the following scene, he comes back later in the film good as new (just in time to take Encolpio off to a brothel), only to die again shortly thereafter (and demand in his will that is relatives eat him, as noted earlier). Confused? Fellini’s narrative unfolds like a series of dreams. Particularly Freudian dreams. In one sequence, Encolpio is driven into a labyrinth, where a minotaur chases him, while Encolpio keeps asking, “Who are you?” Ascilto and the crowd taunt our hero, while he begs for mercy and offers his love to the minotaur. The minotaur takes off his bull head, and the man underneath declares his love and friendship for Encolpio. The whole affair was a prank, and Encolpio is praised for playing along. Everyone laughs heartily, and our hero is offered public ritual sex with the pageant’s Ariadne. Unfortunately, he is impotent, and the crowd humiliates him…
