Film: Airplane
|
 The Friends of the Library Film Series continues Thursday, December 11 at 7:00 PM with Airplane (1980), directed and written by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker and released by Paramount Pictures. It stars Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson. The film is a parody of the disaster film genre, particularly the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour! and Airport 1975 (Universal Pictures), employing fast-paced slapstick comedy, and visual and verbal puns and gags. All films are shown free of charge on the Library's "pretty big" screen in the Howard Room. The series occurs on the second Thursday of the month. For more information, call the Library (374-5515) or Michael Donahue, Donahue.mg@gmail.com or 374-5248.
