Rare Prints:
Slightly Dangerous on 35mm
Introduced by Rob Patrick, Olympia Film Society’s Director of Programming, on 9/28
Small-town soda-jerk Peggy Evans (Lana Turner) quits her dead-end job and moves to New York where she invents a new identity.
Dir: Wesley Ruggles / 1943 / US / 94 min
“A little seen romantic farce, Slightly Dangerous was last screened at the Capitol Theater in November of 1943. Veteran director Wesley Ruggles managed to bring this unmoored curio to life with the help of Charles Lederer’s daffy screenplay and Lana Turner’s deft comedic timing. The outcome? A movie that is part onomatopoeia and part embrace. Lana makes a banana split while blindfolded and it’s more impressive than any Mission Impossible stunt. All these years later, Slightly Dangerous can be viewed as a long-forgotten trifle or a moving tale about identity and longing. But, then again, maybe it’s both.” – Rob Patrick, Olympia Film Society
SCREENING: SUN 9/28 7PM; THU 10/2 7PM; FRI 10/3 4PM
$13 GA & $10 OFS. Tickets are available at the box office 30 minutes before showtimes.
