The Frostburg Palace Theatre, located at 31 East Main Street in Frostburg, will screen the film "Flame and Citron" Friday, November 20th and Saturday the 21st.

In 1944 with much of the Danish population hoping for a swift end to the war freedom fighters Bent Faurschou-Hviid, a.k.a. Flame, and Jørgen Haagen Schmith, a.k.a. Citron, secretly put their lives at stake fighting for the Holger Danske resistance group.  The fearless and uncompromising Flame is a confirmed anti-fascist and dreams of the day when the group will assemble and openly launch an armed counterattack at the occupying power.  The more sensitive family-man, Citron, used to work primarily as a driver for Flame, but now finds himself becoming more deeply involved in the group’s work.  When their immediate superior, Aksel Winther, orders them into action against two German Abwehr officers events start to get out of hand.  Desperate, disillusioned, and with a sense of having been betrayed by their superiors, they decide only to trust each other and concentrate their efforts on getting to the much hated and feared chief of the Gestapo, Hoffmann.  The film is based on historical research and eyewitness accounts from people who had direct experience with both men.

Show time is 8 PM.  The doors and concession stand open at 7:30 PM.  For more information contact the theater at (301) 687- 0921 or visit the Frostburg Palace Theatre website.
