“Seven Year Itch” with the one and only Marilyn Monroe, August 9th, 7pm

It’s time to celebrate the incandescent Marilyn Monroe, who left us exactly fifty years ago—far too early.

She has lived on through the movie magic that she created in many immortal roles.

August is the perfect time to see her in her totally steamy yet innocent role as “The Girl” –she’s the Marilyn who we know as the blond bombshell—the very one who delightedly stood over a cool air vent that blows her white dress high in the air.  And who is on the scene but her nerdy neighbor, white-collar worker, played by Tom Ewell.  He’s a family man, but his family is away at the seashore…and the weather…and Marilyn…is hot, hot, hot.

Director Billy Wilder knew exactly how to capture Monroe’s complicated charms, as we saw in another superb movie a few years later, “Some Like it Hot.”  Hot, indeed.

Now, Cerrito Classics presents “Seven Year Itch” in all its glory and hilarity on the big screen.  Don’t miss it!

The showing is on Thursday, August 9, at 7pm. All seats are $8. Getting to the theater early is always a good idea–for a choice of seating and to order freshly-made food and drinks. You are strongly advised to buy tickets in advance at the box office or online.

Sing along with Wizard of Oz, July 12, 7pm

No American movie is more beloved than “The Wizard of Oz.” Judy Garland, as Dorothy, takes us “Over the Rainbow,” on a quest with her friends, to a fantastically-imagined land, “where wishes really do come true”–whether it is for heart, courage, or brains.

Their adventures and the amazing characters they encounterr–both good and evil–have earned a place in our memories.

Now, in a very special event you can join in even more delightfully than ever before. It’s the “Sing-Along Wizard of Oz”

This magical experience takes place on Thursday, July 12 at 7:00. Don’t miss it!

Enjoy a summer evening with Julie Andrews! Victor/Victoria (1982) June 14, 7pm

On the verge of starvation in 1930s Paris, erstwhile entertainer Victoria (Julie Andrews) is rescued by gay cabaret performer Toddy (Robert Preston). What she needs to succeed, opines Toddy, is a gimmick. What if she becomes a male impersonator? Better still: what if she becomes a male impersonator, pretending to be a female impersonator? As “Victor/Victoria,” s/he becomes the toast of Paree, and an object of fascination for big-time Chicago gangster King Marchan (James Garner), who can’t quite understand the teasing sensations he experiences whenever watching her in action-especially since he, like everyone else, assumes that she is a he. Enjoyable though the stars of Blake Edwards’ comedy may be, the film is stolen by Lesley Ann Warren, who won an Oscar nomination as King’s screechy-voiced moll, and Alex Karras as King’s chief henchman, who, assuming that his boss is “that way,” literally comes out of the closet. Victor/Victoria was a remake of the 1931 German film Viktor und Viktoria, which had previously be reworked in 1937 as the Jessie Mathews vehicle First a Girl. In 1996, Victor/Victoria was transformed into a Broadway musical, again directed by Edwards and starring Andrews. (Credit: Yahoo Movie )
