The San Felipe
Title Company
Coming This Sunday - January 18th, 2009, 3PM
1960 'The Little Shop of Horrors'
As
part of its revised roster of activities, the bookstore
(in it NEW
LOCATION) will be celebrating foreign, camp, edgy
and cult films with a regular screening of a movie each
Sunday afternoon at 3pm.
This Sunday's choice is 'The Little Shop of Horrors'.
Shot in two days by legendary B-movie king Roger Corman
(Gouse of Usher, The Raven), this 1960 cult classic
inspired a long-running off-Broadway musical, filmed
in 1986 with Rick Moranis and Steve Martin. Employed
by Skid Row florist Gravis Mushnick (Mel Welles), the
hapless Seymour Krelboined (Jonathan Haze) discovers
that the weird Venus Flytrap hybrid he is raising not
only thrives on blood, but also talks! Soon Audrey,
Jr., named after his beloved co-worker (Jackie Joseph),
is bellowing "FEED ME!", forcing poor Seymour
to provide a series of unwilling "entrees";
Corman regular Dick Miller (A Bucket of Blood) co-stars.
The young Jack Nicholas has a hilarious early role as
a masochistic dental patient, Wilbur Force, while screenwriter
Charles B. Griffith provides the voice of Audrey, Jr.,
and makes an unbilled cameo as a burglar.
Free coffee and cookies are provided.
