Midnight Screening!
Saturday night - date night and on the eve before romantic Valentine's Day - Amoeba Music and Phil Blankenship present a screening of "The Last American Virgin"
The classic comedy (written and directed by Boaz Davidson) will hit the funny bone at midnight.
If the witching hour doesn't cause you to howl, the movie - starring Lawrence Monoson, Diane Franklin, Steve Antin, Joe Rubbo, Louisa Moritz, Brian Peck, and Kimmy Robertson - surely will
In a nutshell, the storyline revolves around a posse of cliche characters.
But, the lens is keenly focused on a regular teen (Gary) who attends high school - and his two best pals - Rick (a wolf with an eye for the ladies) and David (the stereotypical fat guy friend who gets laughs for all his sight gags).
Typical of most pimply-faced teens, the three lads are always keen on getting laid.
In one scene, the horny dudes try to steal glances at naked nubile pretties in a dressing-room next door by way of a secret peep hole.
In another, a bodacious babe is tricked into having sex in exchange for a hit of cocaine (which turns out to be sweet & low or some such thing).
Very sweet and very low!
The Last American Virgin is a remake of an Israeli film.
(Eskimo Limon / 1978)
Once a string of sequels played themselves out, Boaz Davidson hooked up with producers Golan-Globus (OMG! Do you remember those flakes to take a shot at a production geared towards the American market.
Eskimo Limon was originally a modest feature about kids growing up in 1950s Israel!
Yup! Think American Graffiti (George Lucas).
For a more widespread appeal the location was switched to a suburb in Los Angeles.
The scintillating soundtrack was a knock out hit which included olden golden goodies, classic rock, and contemporary New Wave.
Curtain: 11:59 p.m.
Tickets: $7
See 'ya there!
