Take a break from your hectic holiday schedule! Relax for three hours at the Fox Theatre in historic downtown Centralia. At “The 1956 Movie Show,” you’ll take a trip back to the less hurried time of the 1950′s.
The program includes previews of coming attractions, a cartoon, a special short subject (more later), the latest chapter of an action serial, and our full-length 1956 feature “Patterns,” starring Van Heflin, Everett Sloane and Ed Begley.
“Patterns” is the Hollywood big-screen version of a successful teleplay by none other than Rod Serling (best known as host of the later “Twilight Zone” series). It’s a tense corporate drama as a tough-as-nails CEO (Sloane) rides hard on a senior exec (Begley) while an intended replacement (Heflin) tries to figure out what to do.
As an added bonus, our 1956 short subject “Disneyland Dream” tells of an ordinary family that wins an all-expense-paid trip to the brand-new Magic Kingdom. This delightful film was selected for preservation by the Library of Congress, and it’s a treat for all ages.
You get all this for only $3 per person or $8 per family (4 persons max. at family rate). Popcorn, candy and drinks are also available to make it a complete movie experience. Proceeds benefit Historic Fox Theater Restorations, a nonprofit group dedicated to returning the Fox to its original 1930s splendor.
