Police Squad! (Thu., April 13, 8 p.m., free, The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St., www.armcinema25.org) Rounding up all six episodes of the Naked Gun predecessor, this Andrew's Video Vault screening pays tribute to a lost classic—or, at least, a pretty darn funny show whose relentless silliness often hits its target. A ceaseless fest of goofball sight gags, groaning puns and shotgun parody (starting with, but by no means limited to, cop shows), the show nestles snugly between Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker's Airplane! and Top Secret and is similarly shameless in its anything-for-a-laugh approach (not, mind you, that that's a bad thing). In a way, it's odd the trio didn't develop more TV shows, since the style works a lot better over the course of 22 minutes than it does stretched out to feature-film length, especially given their fondness for running gags, which Police Squad! is positively overloaded with. Watch for appearances by Lorne Greene, Robert Goulet and William Shatner, whose "special guest star" appearances invariably end with them getting killed before the opening credits.

Queen of the Mountain

Queen of the Mountain (Fri., April 14, 7 p.m., $5, Scribe Video Center, 4212 Chestnut St., www.scribe.org) Theresa Goell seems more like a character out of fiction than documentary: a hearing-impaired archaeologist fighting sexism and anti-Semitism to conquer a Turkish mountain that her peers had long considered inaccessible. But this affectionate portrait by her niece, Wynnewood filmmaker Martha Goell Lubell, brings Goell's hardheaded determination vividly alive. Lubell's well-researched PBS-style hour, mixing contemporary interviews with excerpts from Goell's diaries and letters (read by Tovah Feldshuh), capably packages Goell's inspiring story without overselling it; Goell's landmark digs are brought to life through archival footage, not cheeseball reenactments. Lubell will present her film in person as part of Scribe's monthly Storyville series, which will use contemporary screenings as a springboard for discussion of local and national issues. (The next, on May 12, will be George McCollough's All for the Taking, about the impact of eminent domain seizures on Philadelphia's neighborhoods.) The screening is free for Scribe members.
