Airplane! - The Film That Changed Comedy

Join film historian Larry Wolff for a lecture about the little 1980 film that became a blockbuster and forever changed the way film-making approached comedy - Airplane! This presentation will cover the beginnings of the Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker team from their college days to the making of this modern film classic as well as the little known film that inspired their creation. Learn about the joke that went too far - even for this film! Find out how Leslie Nielsen kept the cast and crew in stitches in this, his first comedic film role. Full of irreverent laughs and visual gags, this remains a favorite to this day. After the presentation, enjoy film highlights, an autograph, book and film memorabilia display.
