Cult and Classic Comedies at the American Cinematheque
July 2nd, 2006 by Andre Soares
Between July 5-9, the American Cinematheque’s Aero Theater in Santa Monica will screen a series of cult/classic comedies, including Stanley Kubrick’s still (and unfortunately) quite relevant military satire Dr. Strangelove (Wednesday, July 5 - 7:30 PM), and two Frank Capra classics, Arsenic and Old Lace and You Can’t Take It with You (Sunday, July 9 - 7:30 PM). The former is too stagy and is marred by Cary Grant’s overripe performance (the supporting cast, however, is superb); the latter belongs to the Capra-Corn school of filmmaking, but it has some pretty funny moments, and apart from a dull James Stewart, the madcap cast shines.
