The screening is part of Beach Theatre’s summer Sunday Morning Classics series, a look at classic foreign films from the Janus catalogue recently re-mastered in high-definition; the series concludes next week with Brazilian tour de force Black Orpheus. Sun., Aug. 23, 11 a.m., Beach Theatre, 315 Corey Ave., St. Pete Beach, 727-360-6697, beachtheatre.com. – Megan Voeller
