Thank you Wiki for this quick education in a film I saw when it came out and LOVED AND LAUGHED OUT LOUD OVER.
Such a 1970’s feeling is in the air these days that this choice by Brooklyn Film Works is PERFECT. You won’t want to miss a night of American cinema under the stars in JJ Byrne Park. Come one, come all at 8:30. Willie’s Dawgs will be there, too. The movie’s start at dusk. What could be a more perfect Brooklyn night.
From Wikipedia: What’s Up, Doc? is a screwball comedy from 1972, directed by Peter Bogdanovich and starring Barbra Streisand, Ryan O’Neal, and Madeline Kahn (in her first full-length film role). It was intended to pay homage to comparable motion pictures of the 1930s, such as Bringing Up Baby,[1] as well as the Bugs Bunny cartoons—which, like this film, were made by Warner Bros. Pictures.
The film was a huge hit in theaters, and became the third-highest grossing film of 1972. The film won the Writers Guild of America 1973 “Best Comedy Written Directly for the Screen” award for writers Buck Henry, David Newman and Robert Benton. It was placed number 61 on the list of 100 greatest comedies published by the American Film Institute.
