Discover Must-See Events: ‘Strangelove’ Screening and Art Show Opening in Rogers!

FILM

Get ready for a classic film night! This Saturday at 7 p.m., the Clinton Presidential Center and the Central Arkansas Library System are screening Stanley Kubrick’s dark comedy, “Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” Join us at the Ron Robinson Theater in Little Rock for this 1964 gem.

The story features an out-of-control Air Force general who triggers a nuclear crisis. U.S. President Merkin Muffley, played by Peter Sellers, along with his team, scramble to avert disaster. Sellers shines in multiple roles, including Royal Air Force Captain Lionel Mandrake and the quirky Dr. Strangelove, an ex-Nazi expert in nuclear weapons. The film also stars George C. Scott and James Earl Jones in his first movie appearance.

Admission is free, and snacks will be available for purchase. If you’d like to reserve a seat, you can register online. Plus, parking is validated for nearby lots.
