PLANET OF THE APES 35mm d. Franklin J Schaffner, 1968 at The Cinema Museum (15 OCT 19:30).
“Planet of the Apes was met with critical acclaim and is widely regarded as a classic sci-fi film. On release, it was rated one of the best films of 1968 and was applauded for its imagination and its commentary on a possible world turned upside down. Film critic Pauline Kael called it “one of the most entertaining science fiction fantasies ever to come out of Hollywood.” There have since been four sequels, a TV series and at least three recent remakes, but this is the original Planet of the Apes and you can see it at The Cinema Museum from an original 1968 35mm film print.”
A Cinema Museum 35mm Film Classics Presentation. Includes vintage 1960s trailers, also screening from 35mm film.
