SUWANEE - Suwanee's Movies on Main Street classic sci-fi series will continue Saturday, July 26, with a free showing of "Dr. Strangelove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." This Stanley Kubrick-directed 1964 film, considered a masterpiece of black comedy, will begin at dusk at the Burnette-Rogers Pavilion on Main Street in historic Old Town.
Starring Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, and Sterling Hayden, "Dr. Strangelove" satirically recalls the tensions of the Cold War days. Responding to a U.S. attack ordered by insane and paranoid Gen. Jack D. Ripper, the Russians prepare to unleash the Doomsday Machine, their ultimate weapon, which will destroy the planet. In the War Room, the president and his advisors frantically try to avert disaster.
The Movies on Main Street selections are intended for adults and teens. Bring lawn chairs, blankets, picnic suppers or snacks, and (non-alcoholic) beverages to the Burnette-Rogers Pavilion. Snacks, soda, and water will be available on-site.
The final presentation of the Movies on Main Street series will be an August 23 double feature: Mel Brook's "Young Frankenstein" and Woody Allen's "Oedipus Wrecks."
