The Greenville Drive-in: 'Cinema with a Twist'
Movies, music, cocktails and more in the Northern Catskills of New York.
This Sunday 5/28 is the first installment of our new ‘Cinema With A Twist’ event series at Greenville’s Drive-In 32, featuring Hal Needham’s stuntman 1978 comedy HOOPER, starring Burt Reynolds. This series will be periodic one-night gatherings throughout the season with free admission, mostly on Sunday nights, and celebrating more offbeat and ‘drive-in style’ films and shorts. The Projectionists Club bar will definitely be open, we’ll have a limited express menu in concessions, but among the ephemeral offerings this Sunday will be Dwight’s jambalaya & gazpacho. We’ll open the doors a little earlier than normal – 6:30pm – and pull out a couple of the lawn games and it’ll be a general admission event. We’re approaching these nights as something of a ‘creative lab’ that is open to the public where Leigh and I get to try out some new movies, audition food and drink ideas and generally welcome people to come and join us be it just for a drink, or for a full evening of curiosities. Please note, this will be the only night we’re open to the public on Memorial Day weekend and our summer calendar kicks off in late June.
HOOPER (PG: 1978. NB, This is a 70's PG, would be a PG-13 today)
Sonny Hooper (Burt Reynolds) is the stunt coordinator on the action film The Spy Who Laughed at Danger, directed by Roger Deal (Robert Klein) and starring Adam West (playing himself). Sonny's antics and wisecracks are a trial for the egotistical director and his officious but cowardly assistant, Tony (Alfie Wise). Years of numerous "gags" and his use of alcohol and painkillers are beginning to take their toll. Sonny lives with his girlfriend Gwen Doyle (Sally Field), whose father Jocko (Brian Keith) is a retired stuntman.
Sonny is coerced by a friend into performing at a charity show, where he meets Delmore "Ski" Shidski (Jan-Michael Vincent), a newcomer who makes a spectacular entrance. They become friends after a barroom brawl, and Sonny invites Ski to work with him on the film. They begin a friendly rivalry in which the dangerous stunts escalate.
