Hope you're in the mood for a blast from our respective pasts because this coming Tuesday, March 5, we're going to see the 4:30 screening of Bonnie & Clyde at the Yonge & Dundas cinema still known as AMC (even though it's now owned by Cineplex Odeon).
It should be a treat to see this ground-breaking film on the big screen after 46 years. Directed by Arthur Penn, it stars Warren Beatty as Depression-era bank robber Clyde Barrow, as well as Faye Dunaway, Gene Hackman and Estelle Parsons as his partners in crime, plus a hilarious Gene Wilder in his debut movie role.
To quote Leonard Maltin, Bonnie & Clyde "plunges from comedy to melodrama and social commentary ... and remains vivid and stylish throughout."
If you plan to journey back to 1967 next Tuesday, buy your ticket downstairs as soon as you arrive, then let's meet in front of the upstairs entrance before the film at about 4:10.
Afterwards, those who are interested in discussing the movie over a snack or meal will walk half a block east on Dundas to the Imperial Pub, where the food is basic but tasty and very reasonably priced, and there is no need to order alcoholic beverages if you don't wish to.
IMPORTANT: There's no need to let me know if you're coming to the film, but if you plan to join us at the restaurant, please email me ASAP so I can make a reservation for the correct number of Movie Club members.
Hope to see you there and then,
Terry
