What’s Up Doc?  With Ryan O’Neal and Barbara Streisand and Madeline Kahn. What could be more fun on a beautiful summer night? It’s playing tonight in JJ Byrne Park on Fifth Avenue at Third Street in Park Slope.

There will be a Bugs Bunny short, a hot dog concession by Willie’s Dawg’s (which made New York Mag’s Best Cheap Eats list) and a funny movie directed by Peter Bogdanavich from one of the greatest eras of American filmmaking: the 1970’s.

Come in your very best Charivari dress.

Wear a little Jean Nate perfume.

Put on some tan wedgie sandals.

Pack a Blimpie picnic (or have a Willie Dawg).

Remember a time before cell phones and Wikipedia (how did we live without you?):

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.
