Description
Oddball Films and guest curator Margaret Jamieson present Get Lucky. Look out! Is it good luck, bad luck, lady luck or no luck at all? A playful blend of high advertising, low camp, sweet narratives and the real explanation for superstitions this program offers everything from Motorcycles on Ice to the Evil Eye to Lucky Seven Sampson - you’ll walk out of the screening looking for quarters on the sidewalk but expecting pianos to fall from the sky. Standouts include: Cannes 1959 Special Jury Prize and Academy Award winner The Golden Fish (1959) a charming film about a boy, his fish, his bird and a sneaky cat; The Superstition of Walking Under a Ladder (1934), explained by sheet-togaed Greeks visited from beyond the grave by bad luck; Don’t Push Your Luck, a 1967 work-safety film that will convince you that bad luck is worse than no luck at all; Marlon Perkins, visiting uninsured, inexplicably happy people in Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. Plus! Annoying hyperglycemic white kids in Lucky Charm commercials, an episode of The Fred Waring Show with terrible acting, wonderful singing, bonnie lasses and the luck of the Irish, and much more!Try your luck with prize drawings featuring gifts from Mission area shops and munch on some delicious treats from Dynamo Donuts.
