Lecture: The Classic 1980s Film "Airplane!" In-Person
Join film historian Larry Wolff to explore the little 1980 film that became a blockbuster and forever changed comedy filmmaking. This PowerPoint presentation covers the Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker team from their college days through the making of this influential classic, including the lesser-known film that inspired it. Discover the joke that went too far, learn how Leslie Nielsen kept everyone laughing in his first comedic role, and find out which actor initially dismissed the film as trash before laughing harder than anyone at the premiere. Packed with visual gags and irreverent humor where nothing is sacred, this beloved comedy rewards multiple viewings with jokes you'll miss the first dozen times. The presentation includes film highlights plus displays of autographs, books, and memorabilia.
